A Painting and Printmaking workshop for kids (Grades k-2)
Friday, October 19, 2018
3:30PM-4:30PM
Evanston Main Library

In this fun, one-hour workshop, students will create original artwork through painting and basic printmaking techniques. Like all One River School projects, students will be inspired by the works of an artist - in this workshop, this includes Claude Monet landscapes and Romare Bearden cityscapes. Students will also learn about "warm" and "cool" colors and use them as a backdrop for their own cityscape. Register here through the Evanston Library.

"un pasea por las formas de mi mente"
Mixed-Media Art Exhibition by Fermin Barbosa
On Display through December 21
One River School of Art + Design Evanston
1033 Davis Street, Evanston, IL 60201
Born in Mexico and currently residing in Kankakee, Illinois, Fermin Barbosa is a mixed-media artist who focuses on color, texture, shape, line and juxtaposition in his creative process. His new work shows a balance between geometric and biological forms. Fermin paints in a spontaneous fashion, going with the flow of his composition - he feels a sense of freedom to be able to play with the elements of art. He’s inspired by the grit and hard edge of urban environments, as well as the contour and bright color of produce, and admires the contrasting beauty between concrete and organic elements.
