Course Description:
In this 8 days hands-on course, we will discuss and participate in creating abstract art and sculpture specifically outdoors, influenced by nature. Creating an outdoor artist studio we will be surrounded by nature to see how that influences the abstract form. Bringing together artists from all around the world we have the opportunity to explore and learn from each other’s art studio practices and education and life experiences. We will eat in the season the Italian way, drink their wine and enjoy the company of the artists most lucky to be involved. Each day will be planned withloose guidelines to ensure time is used wisely but each artist will have the freedom to explore and create.
Upon request, artists can also benefit of private indoor studio spaces at RUC.
Tuition fee: €1,500 (housing fee included)
Abstraction
Category:
Theme:
Eligibility:
“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes....Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.”
― Arshile Gorky
Abstract art is an incredibly broad visual genre, encompassing any work that has been untethered from realistic representation. Artists have approached it in many ways and with many different motivations, for example by trying to recreate the natural world in abstracted ways, such as Mondrian, or to connect with the metaphysical or spiritual, such as Hilma af Klint.
Manifold Global invites artists of all backgrounds and mediums to share their artworks based on the theme Abstraction.

Eligibility:
The terms “Abstraction” or “Abstract Art” are perhaps among the most common references describing particular way(s) of understanding and perceiving the cosmic and daily realities in which we find ourselves. Abstraction, of course, can be many different things, driven by many different principles and suppositions: some conscious, some intuitive. As an artist; What are yours?
