Celebrate nature and creativity with i3C Artists! Build a 2D coyote using environmentally/sustainable and biodegradable materials.
PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE - see eventbrite link.
The hands-on workshop will include the theme of celebrating nature and the human connection to it, informing on a local fauna representative, the adaptable - and at times feared and even despised - coyote, and the adaptation they have to go through in the current evolving ecosystem due to climate change. In addition, the workshop will provide a learning opportunity to creatively reuse an everyday object, cardboard - a seemingly limiting material that offers endless possibilities - as repurposed material, while meditating on society's consumerism and waste.
Notes:
Participants need to be asked in advance to bring to the workshop approx. 4 pieces of cardboard from boxes of favorite products (cereal, etc) that they generally consume, like or gravitate to, that is, that are relevant to their lives. This will make their creations more personal, like a self-portrait, with personal meaning.
If only for a short time, we would like to encourage the participants to be at the beginning for instructions, stories, and commentary.
Description:
The participants will build a 2D coyote using environmentally/sustainable and biodegradable materials. Leaders will provide stencils and models to inspire individual or group projects. Other i3C artists will build samples and facilitate participants’ creations.
