Prairie Arts Center is excited to partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's
Spring Break Camp, the Artist's Mark. This 4-day camp will begin on Tuesday, March 17th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Guild Hall: An Adventure in the Arts, an exhibition that features works from some of the most iconic artists of the 20th century including Jim Dine, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Miriam Schapiro. This exhibition offers us a wide variety of styles and mediums to explore, with the connecting theme of place. During our time together, we will focus on using unexpected materials and mark making while creating both two dimensional and three dimensional works. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes!
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.
