Black History Month With The Gantt - Family First: Visualizing Black Art - Bryan Wilson guides activity based on the work of Louis Delsarte
Bring the entire family along (virtually) for a painting workshop that celebrates multimedia artist Louis Delsarte.
In honor of Black History Month we celebrate the impact of muralist, painter, and illustrator Louis Delsarte. Delsarte was most known for his mosaic murals, dynamically depicting Black people in the most vibrant colors. In addition to teaching art and exhibiting his work in many major institutions, Delsarte exalted Black culture through bold and layered paint strokes. Teaching artist Bryan Wilson guides participants through the history and style of Delsarte, followed by a hands-on painting activity during which participants will have the opportunity to share their final work. Although you can join us with any supplies you have, the supplies encouraged for participation in the workshop are below:
- Multi-colored construction paper
- A canvas board/panel or card stock paper (11 x 14 or 12 x 16 inches)
- A small spray bottle (you can buy one or recycle one from household products by cleaning it thoroughly)
- Q-tips
- A sharpie or black marker
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Acrylic paint (red, yellow, blue, white and black)
