Description
Paintin de Story: Gullah Folk Art with Diane Britton-Dunham
This is a 3-day acrylic and mixed media course in telling YOUR own story through painting, as done in Gullah Folk and Vernacular Art. The course will provide participants the study of Gullah and Gullah culture through the imagery of the sea islands. While references of Lowcountry life will be represented in this course, the teaching artist will also discuss influences from Lowcountry artists, such as Jonathan Green and Sam Doyle, focusing on the bold colors and vivid textural changes of these artists as students create their own canvas.
Meet the instructor:
Diane Britton-Dunham's work has been recognized internationally as a genuine illustration of the history and traditions of African American southern culture for over two decades. Her paintings are well known because of their brilliant coloring, intricate human and landscape forms, and themes that represent life in South Carolina's Lowcountry region and the bayous of Louisiana. A self-taught mixed media artist and former instructor, Dunham has received honors and awards for her work. Diane's artwork has been featured in many local and national publications, and can be found in private collections around the world. This is a 3-Day Course.
