SUMMARY:Create a Collage with Michael Albert!
DESCRIPTION:Collage artist Michael Albert brings his popular collage program back to the library – if you missed him last time\, be sure to sign up early for this event! Participants are limited to 40 so be sure to register and reserve your spot(s).\n\n\n\nAmerican Pop Artist Michael Albert is nationally known for making collage artworks from Cereal boxes & other printed cardboard consumer brand packages. His work has been described as a cross between Pop Art\, Cubism & Recycling with a wide range of subjects he explores including many text-based works. He just calls it “Art”.\n\nAlbert’s Pop is often referred to as “Modern” since he’s been creating it for the past 25 years and still creates new works on a regular basis. Albert’s “Portrait of An American Classic”\, Frosted Flakes Box Collage was his official beginning as a Modern Pop Artist back in 1996. He calls that collage\, ’The Birth of Cerealism’! Since that breakthrough creation\, he has created over 700 collages from Cereal boxes like this\, and thousands more with different themes\, all artworks using the same everyday materials.\n\nHe will be bringing his nationally renowned “Modern Pop Art Experience” Art programs to over 75 cities in 12 states this summer. He has been running this art enrichment program for nearly two decades & has brought it to over 1\,000 libraries\, museums\, arts events & schools in 43 states so far – it will be 48 after this summer!\n\nThis summer he will be returning to Maine for a few special pop art programs including a return visit to the Pittsfield Public Library on Wednesday August 21st from 3-5pm.\nThe “Modern Pop Art Experience” includes an ARTIST APPEARANCE (Meet the Artist!)\, SHORT ARTIST TALK & PRESENTATION – where Mr. Albert Introduces himself\, shows examples of his works and tells the group about the project they are about to do – a HANDS-ON COLLAGE WORKSHOP where the participants get to create their own collages using the same materials he uses to create his works of art\, and the program finishes with a FREE POSTER GIVEAWAY & SIGNING – Mr. Albert brings about 21 different prints (which he has self-published in limited quantities) for the each participant to choose from as a special gift for coming to the event.
