Fee: $35

 Spend an exciting afternoon at Arts Collaborative Medford drawing, painting, and collaging alongside nine students from Lakota YouthStay, a Medford-based home-stay program with youth from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. In this arts exchange, we'll take a look at a variety of historical and contemporary self-portraits to get our creative juices flowing, then proceed with a quick creative writing and collaging exercise to encourage us to think about objects, people, and our environment that makes you, you. How do you see yourself and what represents you beyond your appearance? Each youth will create individual 12"x16” self portrait mixed media paintings that will be displayed at the Charlotte and William Bloomberg Medford Public Library over the summer, with a community reception on July 8th from 4:30-6pm. During the workshop, youth will have access to a variety of materials including paint, pastels, stencils, fabric, yarn, and other 3D materials, and are encouraged to experiment with a variety of techniques including collage, mark-making, layering, stitching, foiling, and more.
