Here we are again! It’s February, so it’s time for our Yellow Barn Collaboration! Last year the Yellow Barn Instructors banded together to collaborate on some pretty awesome artworks. We created three paintings over the month of February in a relay fashion with each instructor adding their personal touch to the artwork. This time around, I’m leaving it up to my advanced students! We’ll have two LARGE panels (72x30”) to work on for the month, one incorporating drawing media, the other paint. The progress will be posted here daily so check back often!
Our artists will also be keeping a digital journal, writing about their experience with working in collaboration. They will be writing notes to their comrades explaining their choices, if they do not want anyone changing what they were working on, and if they would like future artists to embellish their work. This is about community as much as it is about collaboration.
As collaboration organizer, I will periodically be suggesting themes, approaches and possible directions for our 30 artists to work in, but will no way work on the paintings and drawings.
If you would like to see the art in person, the Stone Tower 1st floor will be open daily from 11:00-5:00pm.
We invite everyone to follow our progress and if you have suggestions for our collaboration, please send an email to Jordan@jjbruns.com. I’ll pass the suggestions on to our artists and maybe even post them in our digital journal!
Thanks for reading!
