From Intuition to Intention and Back with Hannah Beerman!

The Yellow Chair Salon invites you to participate in an exciting workshop with Hannah Beerman. This workshop is built on what makes Hannah’s work so exciting, namely: intuition, intention. innovation, formal rigor, personal narrative, playfulness, experiment, chance, and subversion

She will work with each participant as an individual.  She will challenge, encourage and support you to consider the use of non-traditional materials, found objects, collage, assemblage and photography. For those of you already working in that language, she might suggest experimenting in more traditional painting methodologies. Hannah will “meet” you where you are and engage with you and encourage to play, enjoy and experiment while creating a coherent body of exhibition worthy. Expect one or two surprise guests to drop by as well!

Specifics:

This will be an online course meeting weekly for 90 minutes.  It is open to all artists, but it will be based on painting as support.  In the first week, you will present your current work to Hannah. Hannah will then assign prompts for you to generate new work that reflects your own voice.  This will require you to do your own research in the context of the prompt to make work that makes sense to you.

What to expect from this course:

• Make several new pieces

• Learn about different, new approaches of making and artists

• Use of non-traditional materials that are specific to you

• Critical Readings tailored to each, individual

• Create and prepare a body of work in advance of a theoretical exhibition.
