We will learn about how artists start with sketches and painting to create patterns. We will create our own geometric patterns, exploring a variety of color combinations.
“One who knows how to appreciate color relationships, the influence of one color with another, their contrasts and dissonances, is promised an infinite variety of images. For me there is no gap between my painting and my so-called 'decorative' work.” ~ Sonia Delaunay
