The Phillips Plays: Have fun viewing, discussing, and making art together

Join us to investigate materials, methods, and ideas inspired by artworks in the collection. During each two-hour program, families will look, wonder, and learn in the galleries with a museum educator, and then, in the art workshop, create artwork to take home. Each program will focus on a different artwork and art technique.

July 30 Workshop: Play with Prints: Celebrate Printmaking with Lou Stovall

As we explore printmaking without a press, we will celebrate the work of Lou Stovall, a DC artist whose work is on view in Lou Stovall: The Museum Workshop. Often inspired by music and his collaborations with other artists, Stovall envisioned the museum as a workshop, a place for exhibiting, artmaking, and community-building.

After looking closely at Stovall’s music-infused artworks in the exhibition, we will practice a variety of printing methods in the art workshop: subtractive printing by incising Styrofoam, additive printing by creating stamps, texture rubbing, and monoprinting. Then, using these resources, we will create prints that mirror the feeling of music.
