\nCreate Plus: We are all the continuum of our ancestors
How do we learn more about ancestors we’ve never met and how do
we honor their stories in art? Connect past with present in this artmakin
g workshop designed for adult audiences. First\, participate in gallery a
ctivities and discussion throughout the exhibition Whitfield Lovell: Passag
es to explore multiple narratives in Lovell’s work.
Then head to the Rosenthal Education
Center (REC) to create artworks inspired by your own stories\, memor
ies\, and ancestors. In the spirit of Lovell’s work\, participants will c
reate memory jar assemblages with everyday objects and learn portrait dra
wing techniques to capture their personal likenesses or a likeness of an
ancestor. Taught by local artist and educator\, Ryan Leary.
All materials are provided\, but participants may wish to br
ing their own small objects or photographs representing personal memories
and people from their past.
