Vinalhaven artist and teacher Erica Hansen invites teens to consider art objects in relation to the individual that made them, the time they were created and the space they now occupy. By visiting the spaces that art is viewed locally in the Rockland area, students will develop a relationship to artworks as shared experiences rather than isolated objects. Using that dialogue as an impetus for play, participants will create their own artwork drawn from interactions with artists and artwork in their own community. The final product will be an online magazine where student’s critiques, interviews, reviews and original artworks will be displayed.

In this special summer course coinciding with the Robert Indiana & the Star of Hope exhibition, teen artists will learn to print single and multiple color designs on paper and t-shirts from original images. Participants are asked to bring several hand- or computer-drawn bold designs to the first class. Simple compositions containing geometric or organic shapes, play/modification of alphabet, numbers, partial forms or symbols will work best—bring your ideas! Students will tour the Indiana show at the museum during the first class for additional inspiration. Instructor Jason Engelhardt worked with master printers in New York City for four years on limited edition screen prints of work by Robert Indiana, Marisol, Chuck Close, Nancy Spero and others, before receiving his MFA in printmaking at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Imagine growing up on an island and going to school in a one-room schoolhouse. Now, imagine yourself as a master framer preparing photographs taken by the six students who go to school on Matinicus Island, 15 miles off shore from Owls Head. And now, make it a reality by joining this weeklong, hands-on workshop that includes training sessions with Julia’s Gallery teen mentors and local frame shops in Rockland. Working as a team, you will matte and frame 25 photographs, prepare labels and mount written work, as well as create an installation kit and pack the artwork. Once complete, you will ship the exhibition to Matinicus for the opening reception in early August. The Matinicus photography project is a program of Julia’s Gallery.
