Talk Details
Attendees will learn:
- Much can be learned from exploring an artist’s process; despite trends in technology, many of today’s artists employ classic methods to create their art (even when combined with cutting edge tools).
- Some caveats exist when purchasing contemporary art and earlier genres.
- Even pieces that look “random” are often not — a lot of time and thought goes into the preparation and planning for a piece of art, even if the goal is for that piece to look haphazard.
