Learn to make your own natural paint out of egg yolks in the style of folk paints from Southern Sweden! Historically paints were mixed from many different easily accessible bases, including egg yolks. In this intro level class, students will work alongside contemporary folk artist Pieper Bloomquist to mix multiple colors of paints and use them to paint some typical flowers found in older folk paintings in Southern Sweden. Suitable for any skill level, ages 12+. This program is presented in coordination with Nordic Echoes: Tradition in Contemporary Art, the first major traveling exhibition of contemporary Nordic folk arts and cultural traditions from the Upper Midwest.
