Paint It Out: Venting Through Art
About the course:
Let the process of making a mess clean up your headspace! Explore abstract painting as a medium for emotional release, and learn how getting sloppy with paint can be a healthy outlet for stress. The class works through abstract painting basics, some fun techniques, and how to incorporate creativity into a mental health practice. Enjoy a non-judgmental space led by a local artist who uses painting as her own outlet.
About the instructor:
Hanna Bruer is an abstract artist and live painting performer in Madison, Wisconsin. Her paintings combine illegible text and grunge textures to create visceral atmospheres. Her work is inspired by her struggles with mental health, and the canvas serves as a personal journal to create something beautiful. Viewers often enjoy the aesthetic of her work, but truly fall in love with the work once they learn the story and inspiration behind each piece.
