  • Study Oil Painting with Kitt Moran at the Visual Arts Center (VAC). Learn to paint with oil in the Expressionism style. Expressionism is a modernist movement originating in Northern
    Europe around the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world from a subjective perspective, distorting it for emotional effect to evoke moods or ideas. Expressionist artists seek to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality.
