Lois Dodd (born 1927), is an American painter and educator. Dodd was a key member of New York's postwar art scene. She played a large part and was involved in the wave of modern artists including Alex Katz and Yvonne Jacquette who explored the coast of Maine in the latter half of the 20th century.
Warm-up + Project
Lois Dodd's paintings offer many possibilities of inspiration to explore.
Please take a look at her paintings of "moments of daily life", her landscapes, views through a window, and the intriguing "shadow paintings".
Choose a theme to explore for your individual project this week.
