Program 3: An Approach Toward Making with Andrew Denney
Date: May 11
Time: 10:00 a.m. CDT
Grade Level: Middle School and High School
Andrew will share his experiences studying in Japan and how that experience has influenced the art he creates. During the course of the program, he will demonstrate the techniques of Raku pottery making as he shares with students his insight into his work and the tutelage he received while in Japan. We'll explore the big questions: How does an artist maintain an honest approach in his/her work? What kind of a relationship does an artist have to his/her work? How are the traditions of Asian art different than that of the West? How can those traditions be incorporated into an artist's work. Ask your questions of Andrew as he blends his cultural experiences and artistic gifts to create Raku pottery before your eyes.
