Creative Tourism Activity: Georgia O'Keeffe Experience
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
www.okeeffemuseum.org
Watercolor workshop
There may be nothing more endemic to Santa Fe than art. The place seems to inspire the artist in everyone while everyone seems to be inspired by the art of the place. Georgia O'Keeffe is one of the defining artists of her time and has been inextricably linked with New Mexico through her work; most effectively displayed and chronicled at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.
Pastel, watercolor and journal-making workshops will be held by the museum, as you are lead to an awareness of the inherent beauty, both physically and emotionally, of Santa Fe's remarkable setting and helped to create a representation of the experience.
Tuesday, September 30th
3 Hour Workshop from 1:30-4:45pm
(with a 15-minute break)
Participants-12 maximum
Location: O'Keeffe Museum Research Center Garden
Watercolor... An Act of Perception
Led by Shelley Horton-Trippe, visual artist and arts educator
In this hands-on, multi-leveled class, students will be given basic tools on how to handle the mysterious medium of watercolor. Through a series of processes and projects, you will discover how watercolor can enrich everyday life, can be used to illustrate travel journals and document the experiential found in our spectacular New Mexico landscape. Shelley Horton-Trippe’s work has been shown at the Venice Biennale, The Salon d’Autumn and the Edinburgh Festival. She was an artist in residence at Brantwood, the home of John Ruskin in Northern England and has taught painting at various colleges. Join her for an inspiring afternoon at The O’Keeffe Museum in The Research Center Garden, enhanced with plantings of trees and flowering plants that were subjects of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings.
