About the Course

Take an in-depth, hands-on look at materials, techniques, and approaches to making abstract paintings. Through studio demonstrations and gallery walkthroughs, you’ll form a deeper understanding of what a studio practice means and how ideas develop from close looking. Readings and other resources provide a broader cultural, intellectual, and historical context around the era when these artists were active. The artists featured in the course—Willem de Kooning, Yayoi Kusama, Agnes Martin, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt, and Mark Rothko—serve as points of departure for your own abstract paintings. Learners who wish to participate in the optional studio exercises may need to purchase art supplies. A list of suggested materials is included in the first module....

I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this course. It has proved useful in boosting my confidence in studying, as well as providing me with inspiration for my own work, both in painting and ceramics.

Excellent course with a good combination of artists and meaningful details of their work. Truly enjoyed learning about this period at my own speed. Thank you for having it available for no cost.

The course art content is fantastic. Support zero. The lack of support diminished my experience on this course. The assessment is a joke. Many of the multiple-choice quiz questions are pedagogically incorrect and seriously disadvantage students that don't have English as a first language. The peer-assessment is a joke. It's carried out by fellow students that are not given any training in assessment and if they were would not be experienced enough to do it. The website has serious navigation issues. Some of the learning materials are inappropriate for vision-impaired students.

The instructor, Corey Augustine, is fantastic but he is not reachable. Questions relating to his excellent demonstrations go unanswered. We could all learn so much more with a little feedback on techniques being demonstrated.
