Gerhard Richter
Our program was awarded the Utica National grant. This grant allowed us to develop new projects: one of which being our learn from the masters series.
Artists learned about a variety of artists - starting with German painter Gerhard Richter.
Richter uses a large squeegee to rub and scrape paint across the canvas. Artists then used his technique to create collaborative paintings of their own.
Pablo Picasso
Picasso was a Spanish artist credited for co-founding the cubist movement and collage.
​
Artist studied his use of shapes and attempted to recreate his paintings. However they always chose their own color palette, to make their paintings their own.
​
Studying Picasso's work really allows artists to visualize the way anything can be broken down into shapes.
Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who completely changed the art world.
​
Artists studied him and his work and were able to learn completely new painting techniques. They were able to see how to create movement in a piece and how to highlight the subject in a less realistic way.
