Egg Tempera and Silverpoint Class: Using Early Renaissance Techniques Today

Pollak Gallery

Class Schedule: Saturday, October 11 | 2 – 5:00 PM
 
Artist Eileen Kennedy will introduce the early Renaissance techniques of silverpoint and egg tempera, media in most prominent use prior to 1450. After a brief slide lecture about historical and contemporary artists using these materials (i.e. Botticelli and Wyeth), the artist will discuss the materials used to make panels for silverpoint and egg tempera and demonstrate how to make and apply tempera paint. Participants will have the remainder of the workshop to create a still life drawing in silverpoint. Still life objects, paper, and silverpoint styli will be available for use. Kennedy’s own works in silverpoint and egg tempera will be on view in the gallery.

The Beatles’ Rubber Soul

Virtual (Zoom)

At the mid-point of the 1960’s and after Beatlemania had hit America and the world, The Beatles released their sixth album. Rubber Soul, often referred to as “the departure record,” proved a crucial artistic leap in the band’s career and sound, forever altering what was possible within pop music and the concept of the album overall. In celebration of the 60th anniversary of this landmark release, this course will explore the personal, cultural, and sonic landscapes that shaped the record, from the new sights and sounds The Beatles were consuming, through the impact upon their writing, their peers, and the music world thereafter.

She is Associate Professor of Visual Arts at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
