Studio Hours: Collage

Drop in and create! Stop by the Ian Wardropper Education Room to make a collage inspired by the special exhibition Kent Monkman: Officer and Laughing Girl: https://www.frick.org/exhibitions/monkman. Monkman creates layers of meaning in his paintings by substituting and subverting the details of Vermeer’s Officer and Laughing Girl (ca. 1657). His series considers the multiplicity of histories that make up the human story.

Collage can offer a similar opportunity to multiply, iterate, recast, and reframe history. Taking the Frick’s distinctive setting as a starting point, consider what you might add, subtract, or alter to express your own perspective.

This activity lasts around 15 to 20 minutes. No advance registration is required; space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. All skill levels are welcome, and art materials will be provided.
