Class Description:

In this one workshop, students will explore the art of collage while taking direct inspiration from the Modern and Contemporary Art collection. Using provided collage making materials, students will be challenged to create an original collage or mixed media piece incorporating a photocopied image from the collection. This class is open to all abilities.

What to Expect:

At the start of class, we will tour the Modern and Contemporary galleries for ideas and inspiration. Then students will choose one of the three select photocopied images from the collection to begin constructing a collage. While using as much or as little of the image, students will embellish their piece with the provided collage making supplies (i.e. tissue paper, magazine, text and found images). Making more than one piece is encouraged, but also folders will be provided if students wish to work further on it at home.

Class Cancellation Policy:

If a class or workshop needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather or teacher illness, a “make-up” day will be scheduled on a SATURDAY as the educator’s schedule allows.

Materials:

All materials will be provided for students and are included in the price for this workshop.

Educator:

Robin Whatley is a mixed media collage artist, educator, and curator based in Denver CO. With a background in arts administration, she holds a BFA with a concentration in painting from Colorado State University, and studied at the Santa Chiara Italart in Castiglione Fiorentino, Italy. Her work examines old print ads like an archeological artifact of our ancestors. The nameless figures inked into aged pulp of 1960’s magazines are carefully rescued from the dehumanizing old Madison Ave world and safely released into a vivid and futuristic landscape. These seamlessly blended vintage paper cut-outs and water-based paintings transport the viewer into surreal and otherworldly landscapes where humanity and identity are explored beyond consumerism. Robin’s work has been included in numerous group and solo exhibitions around the US including Arizona, Colorado, Rhode Island, Florida and Washington. Her work has been published with Kolaj Magazine, a world art magazine on contemporary collage, and The Curator’s Salon Magazine in London UK.

 Class Description:

Spring reawakens our sense of wonder and attention, inviting the imagination to grow wild. In this class, students will respond to the constantly changing colors and forms of Spring. Students will use the versatility of acrylic paint as a medium to capture their observations and imaginations in a series of small-scale paintings on paper.

What to Expect:

Students will move between the Studio and the Museum collection to develop a series of small, experimental paintings over the course of 4 weeks. The class will explore how different artists, such as Simphiwe Ndzube and Maria van Oosterwyck, create very different compositions that capture the unpredictable nature of Spring. In the Studio, focus will be on experimentation with a wide range of techniques in using acrylic medium to bring these studies together into a harmonious final painting.

Timeline:

Week 1

• Introductions, basic materials introduction and experiments.

Week 2

• DAM collection visit. Found and felt lines.

Week 3

• DAM collection visit, color mixing, natural shapes and collage.

Week 4

Class Make-up Day Policy:

If a class or workshop needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather or teacher illness, a “make-up” day will be scheduled on a FRIDAY or SATURDAY as the educator’s schedule allows.

Join artist Kent Monkman and curator John Lukavic for a conversation about Monkman’s new exhibition, “History is Painted By the Victors,” at the Denver Art Museum. For the first time ever, Monkman’s work is presented in the United States on a grand scale. His work brings history firmly into the present, using sly humor and flair to look critically at the stories that shape our society. Listen as they discuss Monkman’s artistic practice, his use of visual citations that draw from global art histories, the importance of learning more complete histories that are inclusive of intentionally marginalized voices, and how this exhibition came together.

Creating art is uniquely human. From Stone Age cave paintings to contemporary street art, creative expression is bound to the very essence of our humanity. In this three-session seminar, led by Denver Art Museum teaching specialist and art historian Molly Medakovich, explore the powerful roles and benefits of art in our lives. Through interactive lectures, group discussions, and dedicated time in the galleries, we’ll consider art as a vehicle for personal well-being and mindfulness, community healing and connection, and societal statements and provocation. Walk away with new perspectives on the museum’s global collections and your own relationship to art.

Stephen Prina is an art polymath. Since the late 1970s, Prina has moved nimbly between the disciplines of painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and music. His projects reference art history, personal biography, and musical compositions that shift and change depending on the context in which they are presented. Prina often appropriates the work of other artists, exploring the post-studio afterlife of objects and recordings presented in galleries and museums, and received by critics and historians of art. Through his engagement with these works, Prina highlights the shifting nature of art’s reception and interpretation across time.

The Provenance Research Department is excited to present Looking Out, Looking In: Legacies of the Masuda Collection. Provenance Research Fellow Mac Coyle will highlight works at the Denver Art Museum from the collection of Baron Masuda Takashi (1848-1938). President of Mitsu Company, Masuda was an avid collector during Japan’s transformative Meiji period (1868-1912) who assembled one of the most impressive and influential holdings of Japanese art—the legacy of which can still be felt in Japan’s cultural patrimony laws and in Japanese art collections worldwide.
