TODAY! Quarantine Cards Art Class
Wednesday, March 24th at 5:30pm
Hosted by Morna McDermott (Elementary Education, College of Education)
In this time of isolation and introspection, so many of us find ourselves challenged to discover new ways to connect with those we love and to express the complexity of emotions we are experiencing. In this 2-hour workshop participants will explore techniques of creative expression through collage/mixed media. Using original photographs, magazines images, words, and other items, Morna will guide participants in the journey of making “Quarantine Cards.” Each card tells a story and is created with a special person in mind, resulting in a “secret messaging” between the sender and the recipient. The art cards are one-of-a-kind “post cards” participants can send to loved ones who they have been unable to be with because of the pandemic.
