Have you always wanted to spray paint but felt intimidated or overwhelmed on where to begin? This workshop is for you! Learn the basics of safety, technique, and mark making with spray paint from Skela, an expert spray painter. Gain confidence and skills to add to your artist tool kit. Street Wise will provide an inclusive, supportive environment to learn, experiment, and connect with other artists. What to Bring: Please bring your own mask or respirator if you have one. We Will Provide: All spray paint and boards to practice on! We will provide K95 disposable masks if you do not have your own mask. Much of the class takes place outside. The alternate rain date is Sunday, April 6 from 2 to 4 pm. About the Teaching Artist: Skela is an artist who harnesses her “Sanguine Skills” to illuminate even the darkest of days. Sanguine means to be particularly positive in a bad situation and her skills are everything she has picked up on her journey. Growing up in France and Malawi and having lived all over the world, Skela was stung by the itch to travel and discover the magic of each culture she encounters. The world has become overwhelmingly negative, so her mission is to infuse it with color and joy. She characterizes her artwork by a style she calls Skelarizing, a geometrical shell that embodies and explodes with color, nature, and energy. Skela has been creating and exploring her own allegorical mythology, while discussing extinction, pollution, and the plethora of discrepancies on the planet. She considers herself an Artivist at heart. Skela's website @sanguineskills Information Source: Street Wise Arts | eventbrite
