Textured Textile Monster Faces (inspired by Hannah Epstein)
In our most recent session of Art Academy for 6-10 year olds, we looked at artists and artwork inspired by comics and/or cartoons. For this project, we took our inspiration from contemporary textile artist, Hannah Epstein, who makes large scale hook rugs that are both whimsical and satirical, much like her favorite cartoon show, The Simpsons. Epstein's work also takes inspiration from folkloric tales of monsters and goblins. It is the intersections in Epstein's work that makes it so rich- between humor and fear, between high art and low art, and between the very old and the very new.
Fall Break Camp 2021
Abstracting Landscapes, the Art of Doel Reed
Prairie Arts Center is excited to partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's Fall Break Camp. Camp will begin with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Sun Patterns, Dark Canyon, the Paintings and Aquatints of Doel Reed (1994-1985). Reed's moody, abstracted landscapes will serve as our inspiration as we create our own layered landscapes with pencil, paint, and ink. We will learn about perspective and depth of field and explore the concepts of mood and tone. Weather permitting, we will also do some painting en plein air!
