Art Jam: A Free Makers Group Led by Jessica Canard
December 2, 2020 @ 6:30 pm-8:00 pm
This is a monthly online space in which to gather and make art together, hosted by Jessica Canard. Free, open to all ages and genders. To sign up email [email protected]
The December meeting will focus on drawing and illustration. We’ll practice some drawing exercises together that will challenge our technical skills but our imagination too.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
– paper
– something you like drawing with
During the first part of each meeting, Canard will share different techniques in the month’s featured medium. You can follow along and try them out or work on your own projects. Then the group will take turns sharing experiences related to that medium, talking about our art practices, and showing each other what we have made or are making. A materials list for each month’s activity will be posted in advance. You can gather your own materials or pick up a kit at MAWA. Again, you can create with whatever you want during Art Jam. This is just a time to hang out and make stuff together.
