Teen Art Workshop

SATURDAY, MAY 23 - for ages 13-17
FREE! No experience necessary!
Natalie Frank: The Brothers Grimm

Join us to explore Natalie Frank's bold, fierce drawings of The Brothers Grimm fairy tales. We will discuss the origins of these proto-feminist narratives and Frank's use of gouache, pastel, decoration, and composition. Together we will observe how this collection of contemporary work engages the intersection between body and mind, reality and fantasy. Taking inspiration from Frank, teens will draw their own vibrant and expressive interpretation of these eccentric stories.
