Event Details

Joyce Raimondo, Education Coordinator, presents a series of workshops. Following each presentation, participants will create their own art on Zoom. 

MODERN ART MOVES Workshop (Tuesday, January 16th at 2 pm)

A speeding train, a twirling ballerina, a swoosh of paint. This session provides an overview of innovative ways modern artists capture motion in art. Following the presentation,  create your own drawing or painting that captures movement. 

ART IN ACTION: Virtual tour and workshop (Tuesday, January 30th at 2 pm)

How do action painters Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and others express movement in their groundbreaking abstract expressionist art? Following a presentation featuring action painters, tour the barn studio where Pollock and Krasner created their masterpieces. Then working virtually alongside Joyce Raimondo, capture your movement as you create your own action painting. Have supplies on hand: paint supplies, sticks, a surface for your painting larger than 18 x 24 inches.

DANCE INTO ART Workshop (Tuesday, February 6th at 2 pm)

Explore how modern artists from August Renior, Edgard Degas, Henri Matisse, and others capture the dynamism of dance in painting and sculpture. Then paint or draw a dance that inspires you in the style of your choice. Have paint or drawing supplies on hand.

ALEXANDER CALDER: Art of the Mobile Workshop (Tuesday, February 13th at 2 pm)

Discover the mobiles of Alexander Calder — suspended forms that move with the flow of air. Then work alongside Joyce Raimondo to create your own mobile. Have supplies on hand: hanger, sticks, or other item from which to suspend objects, wire or string, materials to hang from your mobile such as paper cut outs, cardboard shapes, shells, or recycled objects.  Tools: scissors, or wire cutters if needed. 

POLLOCK, PERFORMANCE AND PAINT - presentation (Tuesday, February 20th at 2 pm)

Swoosh, splatter, smear? How can an artist paint and perform to a live performance at the same time? How can a person’s body be used as a paintbrush! Explore the impact of Jackson Pollock on future generations of groundbreaking performance artists.  

Registration is required.
