Hanging Out Together: Designing/Making Mobiles for Older Adults
Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 20, 1 to 4 pm
John Vaughn has been designing and making mobiles for over 40 years and has previously run two mobile workshops for adults and two art camps for youth. Now he is offering an art camp for adults aged 55 and above.
Mobiles are objects which combine techniques of art, 3-D design, simple mechanics, and some basic concepts of engineering. Participants will be introduced to several examples of mobiles which they can adapt for their own inspired creations.
Mobile construction materials, tools, and safety glasses will be provided. Participants may also bring small objects to include in their individual projects, which will be theirs to keep.
Open to adults age 55 and older. Limited to 12 participants.
Registration required.
Screen Printing for Older Adults
Monday, September 14 through Friday, September 18, 1 to 4 pm
A five-day art camp teaching the basic techniques of screen printing through the use of stencils. Each day we will take a modern day artist and develop stencils based on that artist's work. Each day the students will use their drawing skills to sketch then cut out stencils, progressing to more difficult stencils as the week moves forward. The screen prints will be printed on both paper and t-shirts. The student may bring 2 items of their own to print on the last day of class. The students will also learn two types of alternative prints on the fourth day of class. Each Student will be provided two t-shirts to print on by the Dove.
For ages 55 to 88. Limited to 12 participants.
