Prairie Arts Center is excited to once again partner with our neighbors to the north, the OSU Museum of Art, for this year's Spring Break Camp. This 4-day camp will begin on Tuesday, March 18th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Ralph Steadman: And Another Thing where campers will get to see Steadman's expressive, bold, and whimsical work up close. Our week of art making will take inspiration from Steadman's ink blot technique and his willingness to wait for characters and images to emerge from his random splats and splodges. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes!
*Splat and Splodge campers' art work will be bound in a large book that will be on display in the Malinda Berry Fischer Gallery at the OSUMOA from April 1st-19th. Campers and parents are invited to attend the closing reception for the exhibition on April 18th from 5-7. Art work will be available for pickup at the Prairie Arts Center on or after April 21st during open hours.
Ralph Steadman: And Another Thing is organized by the Ralph Steadman Art Collection and is sponsored by United Therapeutics and Flying Dog. Funding for the 2024/25 OSU Museum of Art season is provided by Riccarda de Eccher & Bill Goldston, and the OSU Museum of Art Advocates.
Instructor’s name
Art educator Jen Johnson holds an undergraduate degree in art history and English literature from the University of Kansas, as well as an MAT (Masters in the Art of Teaching) from the English Department at the University of Montana. In her own practice, Jen is equally invested in understanding the larger world through her interactions with the art objects of others and the making of her own art objects. Jen considers her greatest strengths as an educator to be the facilitation of reflective and critical conversations about art and art making, as well as the creation of safe environments for authentic explorations into the practices of self-expression and making. Her preferred mediums are mixed media, printmaking, and photography, but she enjoys the act of creation no matter the medium and considers it one of her greatest joys to make art alongside others.
