Program Description
Event Description
Join us each month on the FIRST Monday at the Edmond Library on FIRST Street to add colorful HUES to an art project focusing on an artist, technique or medium.
This program is most suitable for teens and adults due to the content and materials we will use. Please make arrangements for younger children so you can relax and enjoy your time with us.
Our art will sometimes be a little messy. Please dress in clothing that you won't worry about, or bring an art smock to cover it.
PLEASE cancel your registration if you later realize you cannot attend, so someone else can create in your place. Your registration will hold your place until ten minutes after the listed start time of the program. At 0:10, any remaining spaces will be given to those who are on the waitlist and present at the library, in the order they registered.
This autumnal month, as we focus on the changing seasons and the splendor of nature robed in brilliant new shades, we will learn about Renaissance artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and books. We will sketch a side profile and then fill it in in his collage-type style. If you are already skilled in drawing faces, you may bring a photo to work on, rather than drawing the one used in the lesson. If you would rather use foraged materials to design your head, you are welcome to bring a bag of those with you, rather than use the magazine clippings which the Friends of the Library have graciously provided!
