“It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.” - Jean-Michel Basquiat Jean-Michel Basquiat took the New York art scene by storm in the 1980s, when he became famous for his mixed-media works incorporating crowns, skulls and cryptic words. He took his inspiration from a combination of jazz, boxing, pop culture, anatomical drawings in Grey's Anatomy, and life in New York in the 1980s. Learn about Jean-Michel Basquiat and create your own painting inspired by his work, using paint and oil pastels on canvas. Taught by PhDs, subject matter experts and professional artists. All art supplies are included. This Studio Session is part of the Pop Art Studio Series. Sign up for a single class or for the entire series here.
