Teen Open Studio, Master Copies: Changing the Narrative

Come join us August 20th, 5-7 pm for our “Master Copies: Changing the Narrative” painting workshop. In Kent Monkman’s Death of Adonis painting he is disrupting the narrative of The Last Buffalo by Albert Bierstadt, shifting from perpetuating myths by asserting Indigenous presence in his artwork. In our project you will select a master copy of a famous artwork and think about how you might shift the narrative in these works to reflect your lived experiences, histories, or to simply tell a different story. Learn more about Death of Adonis by Kent Monkman. About Teen Open Studio Teen Open Studio invites teenagers to delve into the world of artmaking on the third Thursday of the month.
