SUMMARY:Finding Esther: A Creative Journey Through Illuminations
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Returning The Sparks\nIn this hands-on visual art class\, we will consider the imagery surrounding Purim through a personal lens. Starting with images of the large collection of Illuminated Esther’s Scrolls from the fabulous online archive of the Center of Jewish Art we will conduct visual journeys into the imagery. We will use simple but effective techniques of adding\, subtracting\, layering\, and obscuring imagery to investigate the historical art from a variety of perspectives while tracing a path to original creations. No prior art experience necessary\, all materials provided. The teacher will provide individual creative and technical support for each participant to pursue their own unique vision. \nFebruary 1 @ 10:00am – Adelson Community Hall\nFebruary 8 @ 10:00am – Benjamin Vestry \nRegister→
