Rather than simply copying from observation, we’ll experiment with ways to simplify, exaggerate, and reimagine forms through color, shape, and pattern. Drawing inspiration from Charles E. Burchfield, who closely observed nature and transformed it into bold, expressive compositions, we’ll explore how everyday subjects such as insects, plants, and flowers, can become abstract shapes, rhythmic patterns, and unexpected color combinations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;\"\u003eParticipants will:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;\"\u003eFind inspiration in the \u003ci\u003eCharles E.
