SUMMARY:Freedom to Create: The Artists Who Shaped America
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the diversity and creativity that shaped the American art story through an engaging lecture and hands-on art-making session during \n“Freedom to Create: The Artists Who Shaped America” at the Ocean County Library. \nExplore how each artist’s experiences and challenges informed their creative voice – from Georgia O’Keefe’s meditative connection to the natural world to Faith Ringgold’s storytelling quilts that wove art and activism together\, to Keith Haring’s bold visual language created in  service of social change. \nThrough an engaging lecture and hands-on art-making session\, participants will explore the power of self-expression and create original works inspired by the techniques and stories of these groundbreaking artists. Celebrate what it means to make art in the spirit of freedom. \nJenny Santa Maria will present the program. \nShe is a Teaching Artist and Art Coach who specializes in creative empowerment workshops designed to awaken artistic confidence in people of all backgrounds and abilities. \nWith a Master’s Degree in Special Education and over a decade of experience in arts education\, Jenny brings a warm\, accessible approach to drawing\, folk arts\, and meditative practices. \nRegistration is required for this free program. \nTo register\, visit tinyurl.com/CreateOCL\, or call or stop by the branch of your choice. \ntinyurl.com/CreateOCL \n
