TICKET REQUIRED Participants in this workshop will learn about the cyanotype process, from mixing solutions to developing finished prints. All materials, including cyanotype papers, negatives, and objects for photograms and pictures will be provided. Cyanotypes provide a way to engage students in photographic processes without a darkroom, using only sunlight and water!
TICKET REQUIRED Make your voice heard by creating advocacy works of art! In this session, participants will create 10 works of art on prestamped, blank postcards. A rich assortment of collage materials will be provided, as well as resources for sending these cards to your representatives at state and national levels.
Explore how friendships, mentorships, and educators helped bolster and sustain the Black artists and educators of the Chicago Renaissance (1930s through 1960s) and consider how these relationship networks helped sustain the careers of artists such as Chales White, Elizabeth Catlett, and Gordon Parks.
