Visual Arts

“...any devoted study of true artistic creation reveals it as an earnest expression of humanityʼs struggle to harmonize the spiritual-divine with the physical-earthly.” - R. Steiner

Throughout the year, the Alkion Center offers a variety of courses in the visual arts. These visual arts offerings seek to create collaborative learning environments tailored to students of varied experience levels. Classes meet each week throughout the year. Full-year immersion is recommended though enrollment by trimester is permissable.

Painting Studio

Exercises are designed to stimulate imagination and expand capacities of perception. Color, form, composition, movement, nuance, and gradation form a cohesive whole to convey an image and create an artistic experience for both the viewer and creator.

Themes and projects include The Language of Color and Form, Polarity and Metamorphosis, Nature Studies, Observation, Imagination, and Abstraction. We work in Oil, Watercolor, Pastels, and various Drawing Techniques.
