Join us for a special 3-hour drop-off class in honor of Juneteenth, where we’ll explore art inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Known for his bold colors, expressive marks, and graffiti influences, Basquiat’s work combines free, child-like expression with layered symbolism, creating pieces that are both playful and full of meaning. Students will learn about the artist’s style and how he used repetition, symbols (like crowns), handwritten words, and loose, sketch-like drawings to communicate ideas. Using a mix of materials, they’ll create their own layered, expressive, Basquiat-inspired artwork. This workshop offers a fun and engaging way to celebrate, learn, and create—while honoring the spirit of Juneteenth through art.
