EVENT DESCRIPTION
Explore the work of Chinese-American painter Bernice Bing with Shannon Driscoll of Oil and Cotton. In this workshop we will learn how to combine calligraphy and painting. We will imitate her use of altered letters and words through a variety of creative exercises. By extracting the strokes used to produce characters, we will create a new symbolic language of abstract line. Our letter and word studies will be used to create a watercolor painting inspired by Bernice Bing's work.
