Examine the MFA’s collection for influences from antiquity, myths, tradition, and poetry to gain a deeper understanding of expressionist work. Discover how artists such as Cy Twombly derived meaning, narrative, and poetic illusion in 2D and non-literal sculptural work. Practice your own mark making techniques to develop a gestural vocabulary using a variety of wet and dry media through drawing, painting, and simple sculptural exercises.
