In these 4 weeks of artmaking, create layered fabric collages and mixed-media round canvases using wire threads and glimmer-y elements.
The first two sessions explore the textured compositions of Derrick Adams's Floater 74 (2018) and Tschabalala Self's Blonde (2019) as we create collages. For our second project, we will look at Nick Cave's Tondo (2018) and Soundsuit (2016) and Mickalene Thomas' Le déjeuner sur l'herbe: les trois femmes noires (2010), learning about their use of color and materials.
Let these giants inspire you as we make extraordinary works!
