FREE Virtual Art Workshop – Sketch Mob
Flash Sketch Zoom Mob (for all ages and skill levels), With Bill Batson
Saturday, May 16 at 12:00pm, Free of charge
What will a Sketch Mob look like through the prism of Zoom?
Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA) continues its mission of enrichment through the arts during this Stay-at-Home order with another Virtual Art Workshop Experience. Bill Batson will drag and drop his Flash Sketch Mob from the sidewalk to your computer screen on Saturday, May 16th.
The first Flash Sketch Mob was held in Nyack on June 2012 when 100 participants of all ages and skill levels took up art making positions every 12 paces from Cedar Hill to Second Avenue on both sides of Broadway. All of the works created in the afternoon were scanned for a slide show that was projected on a wall that evening.
Now, in the time of coronavirus, you are invited to use the flash sketch mob method to share with the world some aspect of your quarantine. Unlike a typical Flash Sketch Mob where a group of people would draw segments of the same landscape, this event will feature the notion of we are alone together. You will be given your prompt at the beginning of the session.
We will gather on Zoom at noon and go over some basic guidelines. We will then work on the prompt for one hour. You are encouraged to aim your camera at your work in progress. We will all be serenaded by some live music by local musicians. We will stop after an hour and view each other's work.
For those who wish to have their work incorporated into a flash sketch zoom mob slideshow, they will send digital images of their work to RoCA. A slide show of the world's first Flash Sketch Zoom Mob will be posted on RoCA's website later in the month.
We invite you to join us for this virtual sketch mob. To register for this Virtual Experience and receive the Zoom Art Event information please e-mail: CampRoCA@gmail.com with your name and which event(s) you would like to attend.
