August 11 through August 15, 2008, 11 am to 2 pm
The Hirshhorn invites aspiring young artists to transform the Museum's ArtLab into a working studio space. This summer, Philadelphia-based artist Jessica Hoffman leads a five day workshop inspired by Part II of the exhibition The Cinema Effect. Using cyanotypes, image transfers, and other photographic processes, students will explore the real and the imagined in art and create a multi-dimensional documentary based on their memories, writing projects, class discussions, and interviews. Students from local schools, rising freshmen through grade 12, may apply. No previous art experience is necessary, and all materials are provided by the Hirshhorn. Deadline for registration is August 1, 2008. Sign up today!
