Greetings!Take time to be creative this summerFinally! Longer days and warmer weather. We don’t have to be told to move outdoors. We are naturally drawn to the sun and all that sunshine enables — including a rousing urge to get creative. The question is, how to hold onto this energy? Here are ten tips to put creativity at the center of your life this summer.

1. Checkyourdefinition:Creativityisanythingthatrequiresimagination. 2. Stop worrying about what other people think or say about your art. 3. Set aside time to brainstorm. Without it there would be no innovation. 4. Keep a daily sketchbook. Keep it simple, with basic marks like dots and lines. 5. Don’t just work alone. Innovation often stems from collaboration. 6. Steal, steal, steal! You don’t always have to create something from the ground up. 7. Take pictures! A snapshot here or there could inspire your next work. 8. Try a new-to-you art material or technique. 9. Get outside for an observational walk. Pay attention to colors, shapes and objects. 10. Have fun!

We look forward to being creative with you this summer!

Sincerely,

Ashley Occhino Studio Class Manager

Beginning with vases from Ancient Greece and ending with the sculpture of contemporary artist Shih Chieh Huang, this class explores the role of technology in art through different eras and cultures around the world. A combination of gallery lectures by Museum Curators, discussion, and hands-on projects in the studio provide students with opportunities to learn, question,andreflectuponthewaysinwhichartis affected by technology. How do methods and materials dictate the outcome of creating artwork? How do advances in technology impact the evolution of an art form such as painting or sculpture? We investigate Ancient Greek pottery, Chinese jades, European and American painting, photography and collage, and contemporary sculpture in the exhibition Reusable Universes. In the studio, students work on several projects; drawing, painting, making digital images, and creating 3D works out of recycle materials. All of the methods and materials explored in the studio can be trans-ferredtotheclassroom.Nopriorexperienceinart is necessary. All educators are welcome.

Art HistoryThe Roots of Modernism – New @ WAM!JohnHayes-NikasLevel:AllLevelsWed 12-1:30pm, July 12 – Aug 9, 5 weeksNonmember$115/Member$103.50The term “Modern Art“ is usually associated with art, music and literature in which the traditions of the past have been rejected in the spirit of experimentation. Modern Art was prominent from the 1860s to the 1960s in Western Eu-rope and Eastern America. It applies certain conditions, philosophies and personal styles produced during that era. This series of talks/lectures explores the major art movements, people, places, ideas, and events that laid the groundwork and foundation for Modernism. With visual support from the Museum’s permanent collection, the three major styles that competed withoneanother–Neoclassicism,Romanticismand Realism–will be reviewed and examined as they set the foundation for what was to become a blur of artistic ‘isms’ at the end of the 1900s. Students will also explore the work of Edouard Manet, the father of Modern painting, and dis-cusshisinfluenceonthefirstmajormodernartmovement, Impressionism.

WAM + STEAM = ARTWorcester Art Museum is putting ART back into the equation this summer! We are now offering new and innovative studio classes for youth and teens that integrate the visual arts with STEM — science, technology, engineering and math. This interdisciplinary approach engages young artists in a holistic, creative process, as they learn ways to investigate, create, problem solve, collaborate, and play. It promises to be a lively summer — from the geometry of mandalas and the kinetic energy of roller coasters to the engineering behind mammoth murals and Mac lab animations. For 129 years, WAM has worked to meet the changing needs of its creative community.

In 2017, it’s full STEAM ahead!
