August and the Four B’s Workshop

Time: TBA

Join DS Kinsel for a hands-on art-making session in celebration of August Taught Us…, an exhibition honoring the life and legacy of August Wilson.

August Wilson credited his education to the “Four B’s”: The Blues, the art of Romare Bearden, the writing of Amiri Baraka, and the work of Jorge Luis Borges. This session will explore these influences and highlight how great artists draw inspiration from across disciplines. Participants will engage with the Four B’s through collage, painting, and storytelling activities. The workshop begins with a storytime led by Kinsel about August Wilson, followed by the creation of Romare Bearden-inspired collages. Finally, participants will explore The Blues by recreating Kinsel’s Four B’s painting—using as many shades of BLUE as possible!
