RMA has a variety of innovative year round and seasonal programs for teens.
Teen Art Workshop with Chitra Ganesh
November 4, 2010 4-6 pm
Contemporary artist Chitra Ganesh draws from a broad range of material, including the iconography of Hindu and Buddhist mythology, 19th century fairytales, song lyrics, as well as contemporary visual culture such as Bollywood posters, anime, and comic books. Join Ganesh for a discussion of her digital collages, inspired by images from Indian comic books presenting religious and cultural narratives based in Hindu mythology and South Asian history to a popular audience. Afterwards, make your own mini comic in this hands-on workshop.
