2023 Port Chester Day — OUT OF HOME  — art workshop series

WHEN  August 26th, 2023
WHERE  John Lyon Park, look for us at the Gazebo area
For the exact location click HERE 
Space and coordination are provided by the Recreation Department of Port Chester Village.
We will discover and practice Gyotaku (gee-o-taku): Fish Prints.
Gyotaku was first done as a method of record keeping. As a part of the training of Samurai warriors in Sakai Province, the men were required to record the fish they caught by inking them and pressing the paper to the inked fish. Archives exist with records of fish over 200 years ago.
After falling into disuse, gyotaku has been revived in the past fifty years, both as a record by fishermen and also as an art in itself.
—Jo Miles Schulman
We will create coral reef images using plexiglass plates with tempera paints. Be ready to make a beautiful monoprint.
Painting different animals on large-size paper is always a lot of fun.

Art Classes for Everyone

DISCOVERING PUTNAM COUNTY art workshop series.

Leave your home and look around – nature is right next to us. You can hear frogs in the lake, something rustles in the bushes, birds fly in the sky, sometimes there is a multitude of stars in the sky and sometimes there are none at all, the seasons change. During our art workshops, we will get to know and illustrate many questions about the surrounding world of nature. All of this we will illustrate with drawings, collages, and paintings.

In a consecutive series of art workshops, children and their families will learn the art elements (line, shape, color, value, texture, and shape), which are part of every painting along with the study of nature.

Call 845-279-6421 to sign in, or just come and join us at Brewster Public Library, 79 Main Street, Brewster, NY 10509
Wednesdays at 4:00 PM
