The Art Museum is partnering with the Arts Council of Princeton to provide free online art-making experiences. Weekly classes are taught by artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo over Zoom, so participants can join live from home. A variety of media and techniques will be explored, using materials readily available. Each week’s lesson features works from the Museum’s collections and is introduced by an Art Museum Student Tour Guide.
This live art-making class is inspired by posters designed by the Guerrilla Girls, a collective of anonymous women artists whose work focuses on exposing gender and racial discrimination in the art world through various projects, particularly the dozens of posters they have produced, originally intended for public spaces. Incisive, hilarious, and polemical, these posters combine facts and arresting visual design. During this class you will learn to share your message for change in a visual way that captures people’s attention. We will explore the ways in which combinations of different fonts, colors, and layouts can help you make an impact in your community.
