Prairie Arts Center is excited to partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's
Spring
Break Camp, the Artist's Mark. This 4-day camp will begin on Tuesday,
March 17th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Guild
Hall: An Adventure in the Arts, an exhibition that features works from
some of the most iconic artists of the 20th century including Jim Dine,
Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Miriam Schapiro.
This exhibition offers us a wide variety of styles and mediums to
explore, with the connecting theme of place. During our time together,
we will focus on using unexpected materials and mark making while
creating both two dimensional and three dimensional works. Students
should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and
making messes!
Instructor’s name
Art educator
Jen Johnson holds an undergraduate degree in art history and English
literature from the University of Kansas, as well as an MAT (Masters in
the Art of Teaching) from the English Department at the University of
Montana. In her own practice, Jen is equally invested in understanding
the larger world through her interactions with the art objects of others
and the making of her own art objects. Jen considers her greatest
strengths as an educator to be the facilitation of reflective and
critical conversations about art and art making, as well as the creation
of safe environments for authentic explorations into the practices of
self-expression and making. Her preferred mediums are mixed media,
printmaking, and photography, but she enjoys the act of creation no
matter the medium and considers it one of her greatest joys to make art
alongside others.
