  • Grounding in the technical basics of watercolor.

CLASS or WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Skills competencies addressed will include: planning and design, surface preparations, photography, printing, painting, social media, and concrete work.

What makes a community? When we share space, culture, and purpose, we can come together to create the future we want to live in. Community arts projects offer creative collaborations as a means to this end. This course will focus on making art in community in both theme and activity, while offering both beginner and advanced artists opportunities to share their skills and visions and to develop new ones.

For this project we will be designing a mixed-media mosaic that showcases what we collectively see as the best of our community, of what draws us together. For our inaugural community art project we will resurface a paved area at the CAC with a cohesive and interactive design including photographic images, painted images, text, and QR codes.

Globally, there has been minimal work with photographic printing on concrete. Successful artists include Mark Pearson in the UK and Lina Bessonova in Italy. Interactive and decorated pave­ments have a broader and wider history. Some recent projects include Urban Thinkscape in Philadelphia, iPlay MIAMI Streets in Miami, and The Yellow Brick Road Play Street in Los Angeles.
