Pop Painting with Tim Thornton, 11AM-2:30 PM, For Teens & Adults, $45/50
Pop was a movement that embraced popular culture, borrowing from advertising and mass media for its subjects and process. Andy Warhol was a master at this. For inspiration, the class will view the Warhol photo exhibition at MAM. Artist and teacher Tim Thornton will discuss and demonstrate the processes used by pop artists of the '50s and '60s to transfer images, faces, or soup cans from photographs to canvas using grids, projectors, and stencils. You will leave the class with one portrait done in a style similar to that Andy Warhol. Materials will be supplied and no experience is necessary. Scholarships are available contact reneet@missoulaartmuseum.org.
