Mixed Media Explorative Art (In-Person)
Teen (Gr 7-12) | This program has been canceled
Join this class where we aren't limited by a specific material/form of art and can utilize many different types of expression. We will create projects where ideas evolve from one medium to another and are deconstructed and reconstructed. Students will utilize recycled/unconventional materials, and be encouraged to be playful with the concept of art making. The goal of this class is to find inspiration in the things around you and to not be rigid in your idea of what is or isn't art.

Leslie Donahue
Leslie Donahue (they/them) is a multimedia artist specializing in both oil and acrylic painting. Born and raised in the California Bay Area, their work moves from figurative, to landscape, to abstract. Specializing in atmospheric, strange scenes imbued with emotion, there is tension between what is revealed to the viewer and what is hidden. Leslie utilizes their skill in printmaking, drawing, and collage to further explore these visual themes. While living and attending Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, Leslie has been a part of several gallery shows, including a 2022 “Fresh Faces” exhibition in the SOWA arts district. They currently live in Cambridge with their dog Snoopy.
