Hyperrealism is a genre of visual arts resembling a high-resolution photograph. In this exciting new class, students will use photographs solely as a reference as they learn to create details that go beyond what is in the original image. Textures, surfaces, lighting effects, and shadows are painted, resulting in art that appears as though it’s three-dimensional and tangible.
For grades 6th-adult. Six 1-hour ONLINE Saturday classes.
