Painting
Drip, splatter, and spray large scale art! Painting workshops explore visual art and creative expression through the use of drawing, color, and painting, music and conversation. Starting with pencil and paper, participants are led through a design session where they learn different ways to convert a small image to a large canvas, mix colors and apply different visual techniques. Many of our painting projects revolve around mural residencies.
A quick look at the progression of a teen painting project at Goodman South Madison Library led by Teen Services Librarian, Jesse Vieau.
The neighborhood teens chose to project, trace and paint their favorite book covers onto the 5ft x 4ft art boards in the Teen section. They worked on the projects in the library's community room after school for several weeks while also rotating to laptops, video games, craft projects and talking with friends.
