Description:
Amate bark paper painting is an ancient Mexican tradition that focuses on the painting of paper made from tree bark. The art of amate bark painting dates back to the ancient civilizations of the Maya and Aztec people, who each had their own traditions and ways of communication with amate bark paper paintings. In this NEW workshop, with Teaching Artist Susana Beitman, participants will dive into the history and process of amate paper, exploring its significance and cultural roots among the Maya and Aztec people. They will also discover various visual symbols and representations unique to these civilizations. Through hands-on experience with amate paper and acrylics, participants will learn to replicate this artistic style and create their own unique pieces. This workshop is geared towards all skill levels. All materials are provided.
