PAFA Youth Council Presents a Workshop for Teens: Health and Humanity in Visual Art
Advance registration is required.
This is event is being held online. After registering, connection information will be emailed to you.
Join PAFA’s Youth Council for this inventive workshop for and by teens to learn about a variety of artistic creations and movements that arise and explode during trying times. High school students can explore the many epidemics -- both literal and figurative -- that plague society. From grand history paintings depicting the Black Plague to Marcel Duchamp’s non-conforming dadaism to poignant artworks created during the AIDS crisis, teens will discuss powerful works of art that share one common trait -- to serve as a creative outlet for processing collective tragedy and reflecting our shared humanity.
This teen workshop will feature both lecture and an art-making exercise inspired by the artists and movements discussed. Please have simple drawing materials prepared (paper, pencils, colored pencils/markers, etc.)
