Reflections: 'Thoughts, Plots, and Poems'

When does text become art? How does the use of words in artwork impact the whole?

Join us on Friday, June 16 for a discussion on Celia Álvarez Muñoz’s "Home Economics" (1997) and Ed Ruscha’s "Ace" (1962). Then, using a found poetry activity to help spark ideas, incorporate text and traditional or modern calligraphy to create text-and-image-based artwork.

Participants may attend this single session and create standalone artwork, or attend multiple sessions. The artwork from this session can be added to a handmade artist’s book during the final session.

This workshop is part of Reflections, an eight-session workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older. Learn from trained Museum educators about Contemporary art, and together with friends, share inspired connections and tell your personal story through art. Only 15 spots available.

Can't join us for these dates? MCASD will host additional Reflections series through 2024. Reflections is generously supported by E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.
