Family friendly tours to explore our current exhibition. Educators foster youth friendly discussion focused on noticing elements in the art, learning vocabulary and supporting creative ideas. Tours are followed by an art making experience that links to the themes and materials in the exhibition.
Saturday
Relief Printmaking
We will explore the beautiful versatility of creating a relief block. In this class we will learn the techniques of carving an image into linoleum blocks and transferring our designs with ink onto paper. In the future, these blocks can be transferred to a variety of tactile surfaces such as stamps, fabrics and wrapping paper!
Clothed Figure Drawing
Share drawing techniques and skills in a group setting while working with the model to communicate poses and complete timed sketches. Bring your own drawing materials to this open-studio session. Price is per session.
Distressed Mixed Media Painting Workshop with Artist Samantha daSilva
Paint fearless. Transform your life.
Distressed Mixed Media Workshop incorporates acrylic paint, collage, newspapers & paint scrapers to create simulated marks of age & wear.
Join professional artist Samantha daSilva as she shares her unique method of painting: Rollers rather than brushes, tables instead of easels, lots of paint and water, canvas manipulation and plaster, salt, sand and wood shavings to create ethereal, textured abstracts.
Let go of fear, silence the inner critic, turn up your intuition & explore your own artistic style in a safe, supportive environment. Have fun!
No previous artistic experience necessary, just an open mind & an open heart.
EXPLORE: Clay Collaboration
Stop by Kimball Art Center and add to a collaborative art piece. Using the tactile material of clay capture your current thoughts and feelings of the world. Individual pieces will be stacked together to create a collective representation of our community. All ages welcome. This is a temporal community project and pieces will not be fired.
LEARN: Glass Mosaics
In this introduction to mosaics, students imagine a design inspired by geometric patterns, landscapes, animals, and more, then learn to snap glass into pieces to build their image. Finaly glass pieces are fused together.
