a. WS24 - Compositional Risk-Taking
One-Day Workshop | Available
Paul Murray - Compositional Risk-Taking
Paul will guide you to experience new and experimental compositions. Drawing on his art education, he will lead you on an exciting journey of self-discovery, exploring color, mood, pathways, and different kinds of mark-making. Paul embraces the concept of risk-taking in composition and technique. Some of what the class will do may stretch the limits of practicality, but it will open minds.
