SUMMARY:PH x Teens: Counterculture Collage
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of our new exhibitions Made in Japan: 20th-Century Poster Art and Black Power to Black People: Branding the Black Panther Party\, teens are invited to create a counterculture collage on notebooks. \nArtists Yokoo Tadanori and Tanaami Keiichi\, featured in Made in Japan\, and many designers featured in Black Power to Black People contributed to the growing anti-establishment movement of the 60s\, known as counterculture\, in response to the civil rights movement\, anti-war efforts\, and anti-censorship movements. These artists utilized collage\, digital media\, and radical imagery to make bold and progressive demands to change the status quo. \nInspired by their work\, teens will design their own radical counterculture message using collage. After they complete their notebooks\, teens are encouraged to take what they create into the exhibits to explore. \nPH x Teens is a drop-in program for young adults ages 13 to 18. Advanced registration is encouraged\, but participants are not expected to stay the entire time; guests should plan to spend about an hour on this interactive\, self-guided activity.

SUMMARY:Improvisational Drawing Intensive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This three-hour intensive workshop will explore drawing as an improvisational technique\, opening avenues to new ways of interpreting form\, color\, and composition that go beyond direct representation. By exploring accidental imagery found in spontaneous and unplanned abstraction\, participants will not only find new means of visual expression\, but also tap into a sense of play that is often lost as artists begin to focus more on technical skill than on unrestricted pleasure. This class will work with collage\, watercolor\, and various other media.  \nRobin Mork is a Brooklyn-based illustrator and book cover designer\, and an adjunct assistant professor of illustration and design at CUNY Queens College. She has a BA from Smith College and an MFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts. Clients include Simon & Schuster\, JP Morgan Chase\, and Columbia University\, among others.
