Join teaching artist Abby Ouellette to learn about a different artist each week\, exploring their artistic style and medium before breaking out to create your own piece of art! Each session will begin with a “Meet and Greet” to meet the artist! Students will learn the artist’s name and a short history of their life before then exploring notable work. Once the class has met the artist\, we will then begin working with that artist’s preferred medium on a piece of our own. The final half of the hour of the class is an open studio exploration with students welcome to continue working on the day’s pieces\, start a new piece\, or return to work from past sessions. This class is open to all skill levels! Come with your own knowledge and the willingness to learn!\nSpeaking about artists\, meet your arts instructor! Abby Ouellette is an Illustrator originally from Boston\, Massachusetts. She is passionate about bright colors\, desert plants\, and creating work that is fun. Abby frequently explores the concept of girlhood and coming of age through her illustrations\, and brings a fun and nostalgic twist to them through movement and cut-paper techniques. She can talk forever about her many plants\, her personal library of books\, and her dog Mabel. \nTo learn more about Abby and view her work\, visit https://www.abbyouellette.com/ \nAges 8-12\nOpen to all skill levels! \nMonthly & semester based registration options URL:https://helenamt.com/event/art-smart-after-school-art-class-2/2024-11-26/ LOCATION:Holter Museum of Art\, 12 E.

Most of us\, at one time or another\, are confronted with difficult or even devastating circumstances. Usually\, they are unexpected and totally out of our control. They are dropped on us like an uninvited bomb. I have learned that healing is allowed to take place once you open yourself up to those devastating blows and allow TIME to gently cleanse your soul. Through the gift of time\, listening\, incubation\, processing and creating became my best friends. My art became my salvation. Hence\, my bold Stark Unreality series was born.\nNothing is ever purely black and white. As humans\, we usually operate in a gray zone. We know this fact to be true. We have recently lived through a tumultuous\, extenuating era. We have witnessed the culmination of the Black Lives Matter movement AND a worldwide pandemic with Covid-19. It was the perfect storm. But\, with each battle we endure; we become stronger\, more tenacious\, more resilient\, making us better\, more empathetic allies.”\nArtist talk at 6:30 p.m. URL:https://helenamt.com/event/opening-reception-stark-unreality-barb-schwarz-karst/ LOCATION:Holter Museum of Art\, 12 E.

ChromaDepth refers to the perception of color by depth\, with the rainbow spectrum taking on dimension. Red appears near\, blue appears far. Using ChromaDepth glasses can cause paintings to take on a 3-D effect. This effect can often be seen in Haunted Houses to create spatial effects.\nArtist Instructor Dallas Ryder will guide participants through the process of painting in ChromaDepth while also explaining the science behind the effect. Participants will create their own paintings using specialty paint\, a blue light\, and ChromaDepth glasses. Put on the glasses and watch your painting jump off the canvas! \nPrice: $55\nMember: $45 URL:https://helenamt.com/event/chromadepth-painting/ LOCATION:Holter Museum of Art\, 12 E.
