This course introduces students to encaustic painting through the work of Jasper Johns. Inspired by Johns’ dual East Coast retrospectives in Philadelphia and New York City, From Mind/Mirror reintroduces encaustic painting techniques through the work of one of America’s most celebrated artists.
This course explores the possibilities of encaustic wax medium, and students gain an understanding of painting directly with encaustics. Students experiment with other mediums and alternative surfaces, manipulating dry times, and embracing abstract painting motifs to reevaluate their traditional painting processes.
