Do you know a young person who loves to draw? In this two-hour small group art workshop at Coconino Center for the Arts, students will create a drawing of an object that is special to them. Local artist and art educator, Erika Tsouras, will lead students to view and reflect on the exhibit in the CCA gallery which features photographs of personal items surrendered to U.S. border patrol by hopeful immigrants. Can an object tell a story about its owner? What are the limits and possibilities there? Students will then learn skills in observational drawing, shading, and emphasis in order to create a meaningful portrait of an object they bring from home. Coinciding with the Flagstaff Festival of Science, participants are welcome to choose an object that reflects their relationship with nature or science.
