Jacob Landau: Artist and Humanist
September 17, 2010 - January 2, 2011


Provocative and inspiring Landau bears witness to man’s responsibility for injustice. His skill and intellect distinguish him as a prominent graphic artist, illustrator, printmaker, and painter. His work is filled with conscious altering honesty. Timeless and relevant Landau is uncompromising as he presents the figure as a symbol of the human predicament, of the beauty and horror of existence. This important body of work from the Monmouth University Collection provides a compelling exhibition with pieces spanning nearly five decades.

The Noyes Museum of Art Presents a New Teachers’ Workshop:

Latino Art: The Retablo –

A Workshop

with Artist Marta Sanchez

Monday, November 1, 2010

9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

$50 - 5 professional development hours

http://www.noyesmuseum.org/

During this hands-on workshop, artist Marta Sanchez will present a Powerpoint slideshow history of the traditional Latin art form of the retablo with a discussion of her adaptations of the retablo in her own artwork and a brief overview of the development of a Latino-inclusive art curriculum. We will walk into the gallery to view and discuss her work in the exhibition Suenos: Contemporary Latin American Art.

Participants will create an artwork of their own based on the retablo honoring someone of significance to their lives. We will also learn how to make cascarones, a delightful and festive Mexican and Southwestern American tradition of decorating egg shells filled with confetti.

Marta Sanchez (www.artedemarta.com) is recognized primarily for her retablo paintings, an offspring of traditional Mexican prayer paintings. These soulful works on metal capture the deepest held wishes of her subjects, as if the artist were lighting a candle for her subject. Sanchez states “My work is an ongoing narrative recording the existence of my family and friends. I strive to relate the hopes, prayers, and humanity of the common man.”

This is an enjoyable workshop and a great opportunity to gather new ideas for enriching the curriculum in the classroom, try some creative art activities and meet other teachers. The techniques covered in this workshop will work for K-12 students but are also sophisticated enough to be used by professional artists. All participants will receive handouts with instructions for the techniques involved, a list of materials and vendors for these materials.Light morning refreshments & lunch included.
