11 am – 3:30 pm EST
Exhibition Galleries

In this free workshop—in celebration of MLK Jr. Day—students ages 11 – 14 will consider how artists use the language of cartoons and comics to approach challenging topics. Drawing inspiration from the exhibition Draw Them In Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston, students will design and create their own comic addressing social issues that matter to them.

Hancock and Guston both use satire and humor to approach challenging subject matter, such as racism, antisemitism, and white supremacy.  While we will not directly examine the more graphic images in the exhibition, we will view cartoonish depictions of Ku Klux Klan figures.

Pizza lunch and all art materials will be provided. Registration is limited.
