After-school Art Journal
With Tina Mitchell | Ages 10 - 14
Spend Tuesday afternoons in the art studio! Young artists traverse color, texture, and imagination through art projects that culminate into a unique art journal in this limited edition 6-week course offered by Tina Mitchell, Munsons’ Artist-in-Residence. Each week, students delve into a new technique like collage, printmaking, watercolor, fiber arts, and other materials. This class encourages self-expression, skill-building, and exploration, perfect for a young artist ready to discover their passion for mixed media and create a super cool take-away. In the final class, students learn to bind together their journal filled with their own artwork!

Meet your instructor, Tina!
Munson is thrilled to welcome 2024-25 Artist-in-Residence Tina Mitchell! Mitchell completed her MFA at the School of Visual Arts, New York City, and holds a BFA in Studio Arts from Syracuse University. Mitchell’s artistic practice is inspired by her passion for art education and experiences teaching art to many ages and at numerous institutions. Her artwork manipulates representations of space in order to explore their possibilities for expressing joy, excitement, or fear. There is an emphasis on the combination of sculpture and painting that blurs pictorial space with physical space and rejects predetermined structures through painting and application of color. Mitchell is greatly influenced by the teachings of painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky at the Bauhaus school, and she is developing a community arts class that breaks down Abstraction into a series of experiments and critical thinking. tmitchell@prattmunson.edu | tinamitchell.org
