Join us at the FARM for a Group-Study in STYLE, Celebrating the Work of Tschabalala Self! Tschabalala Self is an American Artist born in Harlem, New York! She is best-known for her depictions of black females as icons and black femininity. Our exploration of her work will mainly be concerned with the creation of characters & caricature using both paint and collage to build representations of ourselves and/or others.
Paint, canvas-board, and brushes will be supplied, however, you are free to bring materials as you wish. One thing that is personal to each of us is our taste in patterns. Please bring collage-materials that have patterns that you like! I will bring some patterned-paper, but it may be limited. If you have old clothing you no longer wear, maybe mix in strips of actual denim into your painting.
Our materials will include paint and collage!
The plan is to spend a bit of time in open-discussion about
her style and then try to lay out our own similar compositions, in contexts that we choose! Washing the car, doing laundry, walking in the park, whatever context you'd like to present. Her work is very caricatured and bold. The curves of the figures, and the patterns that define people! You can choose to do a portrait of whomever you wish, a self-portrait, or family-portrait! Make it inventive, wild, and imaginative!
Everybody’s process will be different.
Coffee, tea, water, and a restroom are provided. In this day and age, that needs to be spelled out, right?
COVID19: Masks will not be required indoors at the FARM, however, you are free to exercise your personal rights to continue to wear one.
This is not a bar, but it is a 21 and over establishment. We welcome all races and ethnicities, genders, sexual-orientations, and languages!
This event is FREE. For those that wish to tip to keep the club going, the recommended tip amount is $[masked].
I look forward to drawing & Painting with you!
