Color Relativity - Creating the Illusion of Light with Paint, Author Talk with Kami Mendlik
Saturday, April 29 | 2:00 PM
You’re invited! Meet Minnesota impressionist painter and author, Kami Mendlik on Saturday, April 29th at 2:00 PM. Mendlik will be giving a short presentation of her recently published book, Color Relativity – Creating the Illusion of Light with Paint, followed by a book signing in the studio space at the Rochester Art Center.
Each summer, the Art Center is proud to offer Total Arts Day Camp (TADC), where youth engage in creating their own artworks, learning from professional artists, and thinking about the world around them. Through a one week-long session, students build artist’s skills and confidence in the visual arts. Several sessions are offered each summer and provide flexible enrollment options for families with students going into grades 1-6. The final day of each session concludes with a showcase presented by the students for their families. TADC was initiated in 1971 by artist Judy Onofrio, and we are pleased to continue her legacy of learning and creativity for youth.
