In week two, instructor Steve Huston will present to you the Gaps concept. You will learn that we as humans “are wired to fill the gaps.” Steve will teach you different ways to be creative and show you how to use your art to connect with the viewers yet still obtain your originality. You will watch him analyze famous masterworks that illustrate the concepts he has covered.
Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
