  • Online

Space is limited, registration required. Please email contact@gokm.org or call 505-946-1000 for assistance with registration.

In this class, draw inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe’s collection of bones to create textured and tonal watercolor still-lifes. First, participants will spend time looking at images of O’Keeffe’s animal bone collection as well as images of her paintings that incorporate animal bones. Then, the class will use these objects as a reference to create a watercolor painting that explores warm and cool earth tones, rich neutrals, form, and depth.

This class is suitable for youth ages 12 and up. Children are welcome to participate alongside their adults.

Space is limited, reservations required.

About the Instructor:

A passionate artist and experienced educator, Morgan Jones has spent the last 9 years developing these crafts. She seeks to explore how art can serve as a medium to move us both individually and communally. Her time teaching in public schools, juvenile detention, and community centers has deepened her belief that art is a fundamental means of knowing, connecting, and transforming. In addition to Fine Arts, Morgan studied Art Education at Texas State University as well as Criminal and Social Justice at the College of the Rockies in BC, Canada. Morgan’s professional painting practice focuses on plein-air landscape assemblage and multiple exposure oil paintings that call into question ideas of impermanence, memory and conservation. After spending a year living on the road, developing her art from her mobile travel trailer studio, she has settled in Santa Fe to split her time between teaching and creating. 

This class is being offered on a sliding scale.

$10 minimal fee.
