Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older. In this workshop series participants will explore how ideas about the body integrate into contemporary art. Through close looking, we will engage with artworks where the body is present, and where its notable absence invokes the body. Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary art-making techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Transportation will be provided, if required. Participants may join one session (two days) or more! Session 2: October 27 & November 3 In this session, examine labor and utilizing the body as a tool. We will discuss what information can be gleaned from a silhouette, while guiding you through your own creation of a cardboard silhouette-based sculpture. We will draw inspiration from Jonathan Borofsky’s "Hammering Man at 3,110,527" (1988), representing the artist as a worker, and "Julio Cesar Morales’s Informal economy exploded vendors #1" (2022-2004), bringing heightened visibility to vendors' resourcefulness.
