DC | Inspired to Create: Water's Edge

Where: Level 3, Overlook. Embrace your creativity! Following the “Closer Look” program in Water's Edge take an art break to make a small artwork of your own inspired by the exhibition. / / Join a museum arts educator for a hands-on art experience inspired by Truman Lowe’s use of light marks on dark paper to create the illusion of water reflecting the sunlight. Participants will use pastels on dark paper to imagine what sunlight reflecting on water looks like and make an artwork to take home. Drop by the tables on the Level 3 Overlook near Windows on Collections to spend some time creating after your gallery visit. / / Image: Truman Lowe (Hoocąk, 1944–2019), Feather Canoe , ca. 1993.
