SUMMARY:April School Vacation Week: Tree-Inspired Art-Making (Rain Date)
DESCRIPTION:Note: In case of rain on April 18th, this event will take place between 12-2 pm on Wednesday, April 19th.
Celebrate spring–and April vacation week—with artist Kelly Slater and horticulturist Laura D. Eisener. At 12 pm on Tuesday, April 18th, Laura will lead us on a tour of the trees at the Lynn Museum/Lynn Arts property, followed by a 1 pm artist book-making workshop facilitated by Kelly.
Laura’s tree tour will include the identification of trees and some shrubs on the Lynn Museum grounds—including pines, pears, magnolias, rhododendron, and azalea. We will look at the overall form, bud, bark, and twig details. We will think about the role each tree plays in the landscape and in our lives, as our connection to the trees will play a part in the art books we make about them. Are there buds swelling in the spring? Does sunlight streaming through the branches create shadows on the pavement?
Kelly will demonstrate how to make unique and colorful accordion books inspired by the trees and shrubs we have just seen. Each participant will be able to make one or two books using a combination of collage and printmaking techniques. Our books will incorporate both artist’s paper and a wide variety of found and recycled paper.
Workshop participants will also have the opportunity to exhibit their creations at an exhibit beginning in June at the Lynn Museum. (See Upcoming Exhibits for more information).
 
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Lynn Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Additional support is provided through a Sustaining Practice Grant awarded to Kelly Slater by the Collective Futures Fund.
