Copyist Program: Exploring the Art of Isabelle Johnson
When: Saturday, November 2, 2024 | 1:30 – 4 PM in the Visible Vault
Cost: FREE and registration is required.
The copyist program offers artists the opportunity to study and try to replicate works of art directly within the museum’s galleries. This program will allow local artists to set up their easels and work with their chosen media, whether it be drawing, painting, or sculpture, to create their own interpretations of original artworks. The goal is to encourage technical study, enhanced observation, and purposeful engagement between the art, the artist, and interested museum visitors.
This class is full, but guests are welcome to watch local artists as they take a special look at studying and recreating two Isabell Johnson works from YAM’s permanent collection. Artists include John Kennedy, Linda Franson, Ev Bergeron, Linda Hewett, Shirley Shirley, Marlie Boone, Lisa Carnicom, Mari Hanes, and Mike Turley.
