Mark Bradford Paper Studio with artist Tino Ward

This virtual class will focus on the works in the Modern's special exhibition Mark Bradford: End Papers. Bradford's End Paper works not only allowed him to make beautiful abstract paintings but inspired the artist's use of "social papers" that related to his biography and his neighborhood. He began using merchant posters, broadsides, and even billboards he found in Los Angeles to make his paintings. For this class, guest artist Tino Ward will lead participants in learning how to recycle found paper from their homes into handmade paper works and objects. We fill focus on 2-dimensional works with found paper for the first half of the class and on sculptural works the following Saturday.

November 7 & 14, 11 am–3 pm, with a one-hour lunch break

For ages 8-12

Designed specially for each FOCUS exhibition

FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS! is a Saturday morning workshop for young art enthusiasts to gather virtually and discover new ideas for each FOCUS exhibition.

Take advantage of the opportunity to share ideas with other like-minded young artists.
