Today’s WORD Challenge: Coptic. Media is artist’s choice.
Coptic art includes any of the murals, textiles, illuminated manuscripts, relief sculpture, and metalwork associated with the Greek and Egyptian speaking Christian peoples of Egypt from about the 3rd to the 12th century AD. Coptic icons depict beautiful religious narratives, and do not reach to portray realism, depth, naturalistic forms, or perspective. Figures, animals, and plants are flat, simplified, and stylized within outlines and pattern motifs. Arab-style architectural features and Arabic calligraphy provide additional decoration.

Edvard Munch’s iconic painting The Scream has been given a lot of attention. It’s one of the most iconic paintings in popular culture. It’s inspired countless spin-offs, and it’s on every schwag-tastic bit of kitsch. My cell phone has a Scream emoji. The original painting (1893 version made with oil, tempera, and pastel on cardboard) …
In my current series of abstraction classes, each week we focus on a single element of art. Honing in like this allows us to explore different ways into a painting or drawing. By narrowing down, we are able to go farther into an idea. These projects were made in response to a class on line …
