Visual Storytelling: Allegory
Date: Monday, Wednesday, Friday; June 26, 28, 30
Time: 10 am – 12 pm
Registration Deadline: June 23
Art is how we make sense of the world around us. This class is dedicated to a more in-depth way of approaching art with the hope of softening the anxieties of making.
We each see the world in a different context. The relationship between what we see in our brains versus what is in the physical world is unique. Visually depicting what our brain is feeling or seeing is not easy, but this class will attempt to help you achieve that ability.
This class requires you to be less critical of your work and share what and how you feel in a group setting. A foundational knowledge of drawing and painting is good; however, it is optional for this class, and all skill levels are welcome.
Tala Kanani is a second-generation Iranian American teaching artist. She is an interdisciplinary painter and educator whose work is rooted in neighborhoods and cross-cultural communities. She is active in established and “under the radar” actions and art initiatives, working with Columbus outlets, including Cart Pushers, MINT, Second Sight, Ohio Art House, and a new studio project at Huckleberry House.
She believes all people should have access to the arts regardless of income or background. Introducing children and adults to the arts and empowering them with tools to find information encourages positive risk-taking, builds links to our histories and cultures, teaches visual literacy, and inspires curiosity, creativity, and life-long learning in our future generations.
