Classes Of The Week: Gerhard Richter | Froggy Sculptures | Simon & Garfunkel

ART:
Gerhard Richter

Gerhard Richter, master of the canvas, where paint meets philosophical introspection with a side of rebellious flair. He is a contemporary German painter known for his diverse painting styles and subjects. From photorealistic paintings to actual photographs, Richters style is a blend of realism and abstraction. He frequently explores themes of memory and history in his work. Over the course of many years he has explored colorful geometric compositions and large scale installations. This week, we will be creating a geometric drawing inspired by Richter’s
geometric compositions!
