Local Artist, Catlanta: Free Art Movement
Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am EDT
Yellow Classroom (High Museum)
catlanta: Learn about the free art movement through a presentation about Catlanta kittens and the #fafatl community. After the presentation, participants will create a kitten of their own to take home or hide for others to find. Catlanta aka Rory Hawkins, is an Atlanta based artist primarily known for his colorful and fun paintings of cats. Though he was born in New Orleans, Rory has been a lifelong resident of the metro Atlanta area. Rory attended Georgia State University as a Berner Scholarship recipient where he received a B.A. in Studio Art in 2010 primarily focusing on printmaking during his studies. Since graduation, Rory has produced hundreds of paintings under the moniker ‘Catlanta’, a name that grew from a few cats Rory spray painted on the walls of underpasses and abandoned properties throughout the city of Atlanta in 2011. The cats, three-legged with dots for eyes and hearts on their chests, quickly became known as an Atlanta street art character popping up all over town. Not interested in being labeled a vandal and inspired by nondestructive art movements like Free Art Friday, Rory transitioned from painting cats on walls to creating small hand painted wooden cutouts of his iconic three-legged cat (called kittens) which he hides around town for anyone to find. Rory shares photo clues of the piece’s location and invites his followers to track down and keep any kitten that they can find. Since he began hiding art pieces in 2011, Rory has shared over 1,000 pieces of art via photo scavenger hunt. These ‘art drops’ are meant to highlight the people, places, and events that make Atlanta and other cities unique while inspiring exploration and engagement within the community where the artwork is hidden.

In addition to painting and hiding cats, Rory is an accomplished muralist with large outdoor works in Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Costa Rica. He has worked with several local and national brands on a variety of projects from label designs to chalkboard art and has volunteered with organizations like One Love Generation and Paint Love to lead art workshops for Atlanta area students. He lives in Ormewood Park, and enjoys evening walks around his neighborhood, Atlanta sports teams (not you, Cobb Braves), and taking hot baths.

Fostering Artistic Autonomy: Choice-Based Learning in the Classroom
Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am EDT
Café Side Room (High Museum)
In "Fostering Artistic Autonomy: Choice-Based Learning in the Classroom," educators will embark on a journey to transform their art classrooms into dynamic hubs of creativity and self-expression. Through guided self-paced modules, students will explore new materials and techniques while learning essential studio habits of mind, such as proper cleanup and responsible use. These modules will provide a framework for students to take ownership of their artistic process, engaging with new ideas and finding the resources they need to bring their visions to life. The workshop will also showcase diverse mediums, collaborative challenges, and common writing prompts, fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment where every student's voice is valued. Educators will leave equipped with practical strategies and resources to cultivate choice-based learning environments that inspire creativity and empower students to unleash their full artistic potential.

Establishing Connection Through Collaborative Studio Making: Working Alongside Students as an Artist
Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am EDT
Circle Room (MAB)
How does working alongside students during studio time build relationships and foster a community within the studio? For art educators Morgan Clifton and Victoria Goeckel, their job as art educators is to nurture connection and collaboration with and amongst students by working alongside them as artists and mentors, beyond the traditional interpretation of “teaching”. When students step into their classrooms, they are transported to a space that serves as a shared studio for the teacher-artist and the student artists. For Morgan and Victoria, this practice shapes up differently within their respective high school and elementary spaces. For Morgan, this practice has evolved into a treasured tradition after a student jokingly asked her if they could be her for the day, igniting a revolution in collaborative studio making. Each Friday, a student has the opportunity to take on the mantle of teacher for the day, visit peers one-on-one, check in, talk about ideas, offer feedback and suggestions, while Morgan creates alongside the other students. For Victoria, this practice is best embodied in the annual school mural that is created with the year’s fifth grade students. Each year the fifth grade students spend months planning, drafting, and voting on a new school mural, followed by priming, sketching, and painting the mural before revealing it to the school community each May. Students participate in each step alongside Victoria, learning the practical skills of a working artist and finding permanent ownership and legacy of a space in the school. Intentional communal art education experiences such as these, when students and teachers share their workspace and artistic practice, encourages conversation and exploration of the artmaking process between peers and teachers alike as artists working collaboratively. This workshop will explore these practices and help other educators seek out these opportunities within their own classrooms.

Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am EDT
Orange Classroom (High Museum)
We will be drawing an easy but realistic looking eye and a spider web-like pattern that will connect our inner and our outer world. By visually connecting these two elements, we aim to explore how they interact and influence each other in our daily lives. Understanding and being aware of both our inner and outer worlds can help us gain insights into our motivations for positive and negative choices and the overall reactions to our experience and thought patterns.

Papercrafting Without Limits With Local Artist Dustin Timbrook
Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 10:20am EDT
Red Classroom (High Museum)
Local Artist, Dustin Timbrook, presents his work. Timbook describes himself as a Renaissance Man, a creative jack of all trades. He grew up in Montgomery, Ala., and attended the University of Montevallo, a small liberal arts college near Birmingham. He worked in Huntsville for a decade, working for Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment.

Before moving to Tucker with his wife, Molly, in 2021, the pair ran a small toy company in Huntsville, Ala. Timbrook handmade a game called Hedge Lord, which blew up in the maker space and game-con world.

The toy shop was very hands-on and there was confusion about how COVID was transmitted in the beginning, said Timbrook, so he and Molly shifted gears. They moved to Atlanta, and he pursued his desire to work on film and TV sets.

As a freelance artist, Timbrook creates handmade, specialty props for film sets. For “Just Beyond,” a comedy-horror show filmed in Tucker, he recently made a decrepit-looking conspiracy board, and for an upcoming Netflix series called “Florida Man” he created a mural and large sculptures.

The Power of Printmaking
Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 10:20am EDT
Blue Classroom (High Museum)
As the world continuously evolves at a rapid pace, we’re asked to look at traditional mediums in new and innovative ways. How can we develop an exchange among these disciplines traditionally overlooked and/or over generalized within discourse to provide a deeper understanding of their relevance, flexibility, nuances, and intimacy in today’s commercialized, digital culture in tandem with younger audiences through practice. All will be revealed in a short talk detailing research that addresses these fundamental questions, followed by a workshop where participants create their very own print through a fusion of digital and traditional printmaking processes to produce various results!

HMA Tour: GIANTS

Take a docent-led tour of the GIANTS exhibit.

The High will be the exclusive venue in the Southeastern United States to present the first major exhibition of the world-class art collection owned by musical and cultural icons Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) and Alicia Keys.
Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, where it debuted in February, Giants will feature a focused selection from the couple’s holdings, spotlighting works by multigenerational Black diasporic artists, from 20th century legends such as Nick Cave, Lorna Simpson, and Barkley L. Hendricks, to artists of a younger generation including Deana Lawson, Amy Sherald, and Ebony G. Patterson, who are expanding the legacies of those who came before them.
Giants stands as a testament to the Deans’ ethos of “collecting and preserving the culture of ourselves for ourselves, now and into the future.” Through approximately 115 objects, including 98 major artworks, the exhibition will trace the evolution of an audacious and ambitious collection and explore the ways in which the featured artists and their work have grappled with societal issues, embraced monumentality, and made a palpable impact on the art canon. In addition to paintings, photographs, and sculptures, the galleries will include noteworthy examples of the Deans’ early non-art collecting interests, including albums, musical equipment, and BMX bikes, along with related ephemera.

Robinson Atrium (High)
Meet at the bottom of the ramp in the Atrium.

Take a docent-led tour of the High Museum's Idyllic Space exhibit by the artist Tyler Mitchell.

Tyler Mitchell is an American photographer and filmmaker renowned for his tender and innovative portrayals that center Black self-determination and empowerment through scenes of love, leisure, and camaraderie. Mitchell rose to global prominence in 2018 when he photographed Beyoncé for the September issue of Vogue as the first Black artist to shoot the cover in the magazine’s then 126-year history. He explores style, beauty, and identity through playfully theatrical, expressive photographs that seamlessly blend his fashion and conceptual work.
Drawing inspiration from the landscapes, homes, and communities of suburban Atlanta where he was raised, this homecoming exhibition features work made from 2017 to 2024 and considers Mitchell’s exploration of themes such as family lineage, play, companionship, the natural world, and domestic spaces. His lens captures the essence of relationships, weaving an intimate narrative of shared experiences.

Altoid Pinhole Long Exposure Camera
Friday October 18, 2024 10:40am - 12:00pm EDT
Center Space (MAB)
In this workshop we will be making a basic pinhole camera constructed out of an Altoid Mint tin. After painting, drilling holes, and sanding your camera, black and white darkroom photography paper will be placed inside of the camera. The cameras are then left to expose from anywhere between two days and 365 days! The longer the exposure, the more light trails from the sun you will record. Due to this extremely long exposure, moving objects such as cars and people become obsolete and water becomes very still and flattens out. Mysterious colors including reds, greens, blues, etc., appear from the black and white photo paper. Your image on the photo paper will be a “negative”, so you will need to invert it to make it a positive image. During the session, we will discuss how to keep the camera stationary for the duration of the exposure and show examples of successful exposures.

Green Classroom (High Museum)
Most of us are familiar with relief printmaking because it is easy and relatively easy to do with a class. This is a quick and easy way to teach the concept of intaglio printing. This is a hands on workshop that will go through the printing steps. Participants will start with a drawing, create a "plate" using clear report covers, print multiple copies, and finally color their prints. (if you want more time to print, come prepared with one or more drawings already completed)

Friday October 18, 2024 2:20pm - 3:10pm EDT
Robinson Atrium (High)
Meet at the bottom of the ramp in the Atrium.

Take a docent-led tour of the GIANTS exhibit.

The High will be the exclusive venue in the Southeastern United States to present the first major exhibition of the world-class art collection owned by musical and cultural icons Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) and Alicia Keys.
Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, where it debuted in February, Giants will feature a focused selection from the couple’s holdings, spotlighting works by multigenerational Black diasporic artists, from 20th century legends such as Nick Cave, Lorna Simpson, and Barkley L. Hendricks, to artists of a younger generation including Deana Lawson, Amy Sherald, and Ebony G. Patterson, who are expanding the legacies of those who came before them.
Giants stands as a testament to the Deans’ ethos of “collecting and preserving the culture of ourselves for ourselves, now and into the future.” Through approximately 115 objects, including 98 major artworks, the exhibition will trace the evolution of an audacious and ambitious collection and explore the ways in which the featured artists and their work have grappled with societal issues, embraced monumentality, and made a palpable impact on the art canon. In addition to paintings, photographs, and sculptures, the galleries will include noteworthy examples of the Deans’ early non-art collecting interests, including albums, musical equipment, and BMX bikes, along with related ephemera.

Take a docent-led tour of the High Museum's Idyllic Space exhibit by the artist Tyler Mitchell.

Tyler Mitchell is an American photographer and filmmaker renowned for his tender and innovative portrayals that center Black self-determination and empowerment through scenes of love, leisure, and camaraderie. Mitchell rose to global prominence in 2018 when he photographed Beyoncé for the September issue of Vogue as the first Black artist to shoot the cover in the magazine’s then 126-year history. He explores style, beauty, and identity through playfully theatrical, expressive photographs that seamlessly blend his fashion and conceptual work.
Drawing inspiration from the landscapes, homes, and communities of suburban Atlanta where he was raised, this homecoming exhibition features work made from 2017 to 2024 and considers Mitchell’s exploration of themes such as family lineage, play, companionship, the natural world, and domestic spaces. His lens captures the essence of relationships, weaving an intimate narrative of shared experiences.

Get ready to trick your mind with this new way to teach about space, distance, and perspective! Reverse-Perspective is a contemporary art concept that was popularized by artist Patrick Hughes using one and two point perspective and sculpture as a way to trick the mind. In this workshop, I'll show how I teach the concept of one point perspective AND the optical illusion of reverse perspective to my elementary age students. Partcipants will walk away with not only two ways to teach this concept (one and two point perspective), but also their own reverse perspective sculpture! This lesson reaches out to our students in the most interesting way!
