Drawing Basics Workshops with Kristin Malone

Friday, June 11th, 10a-4p

The process of drawing is a way of slowing down, looking, seeing, and centering.

This workshop is an introduction to some basic approaches to drawing what we see. It is designed for those who have little or no instruction/experience, as well as those who want to start drawing again. It will include instruction, demonstrations, handouts, and plenty of practice and feedback. The emphasis will be on the process of drawing rather than on creating “finished” drawings.

Program Fee: $70

Please contact cobblestonespringsrc@gmail.com to register. Both programs for this weekend with an overnight stay in the mansion are available for $200. Please bring your own lunch, coffee and tea will be provided.


Some materials will be provided:
Drawing boards, paper, drawing pencils, sharpie markers
Participants are invited to bring a pencil or two and spiral bound sketchbooks if you’d like (about 9×12” or whatever you may have available).

Kristin Malone is a versatile artist who lives and works in Rochester, New York. She has been a teacher in the visual arts since graduating from Nazareth College of Rochester and receiving her Masters in Art Education from Buffalo State. Kristin is a native of Elmira, New York and is always inspired by the landscape of the western New York Finger Lakes.

Genesee Country Village & Museum Juneteenth

Visit the Museum on Saturday, June 19, as we honor Juneteenth, considered to be the oldest celebration of the end of enslavement in the U.S. – and a newly-recognized official holiday in New York. The event will focus on the everyday lives of Black Americans living in Western New York at the time of emancipation – seeking to reunite with family members scattered across the country, establishing businesses, and building relationships. Guest interpreters and presenters will include Cheyney McKnight, founder of Not Your Momma’s History; David Shakes, Artistic Director for North Star Players, award winning storyteller and performance artist Almeta Whitis; and Rev. James H. Evans, Jr., PH.D, LITT.D -- Professor Emeritus at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, teacher at St. John Fisher College, and President Elect of the American Theological Society.

Juneteenth
Honoring Juneteenth

Join us as we Honor Juneteenth, considered the oldest celebration of the end of enslavement in the United States – and a newly-recognized official state holiday here in New York! We will spotlight the events, experiences, and people fundamental to our collective understanding and appreciation of freedom.

The holiday is inspired by events that occurred on June 19, 1865, when Union troops brought the message of emancipation and the end of the Civil War to over 250,000 enslaved persons in Texas – more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. These messengers of freedom were met with shock and jubilation.
