Hey all! I'm Reggie Woolery, curator of education at the University of California, Riverside's California Museum of Photography on ARTSblock. We have a group of young people coming to our Digital Studio on Saturday afternoons for the last six weeks learning about the history of mural-making in southern California -- and hopefully how we can mosh graffiti styles with the old styles to make something digitally new. The instructor is William Bejarano a painter, muralist, and graphic artist. So there has been lots of drawing, photography in local neighborhoods, learning about digi-graphics, and recently a field trip into Los Angeles for a symposium on 1970s mural-making, featuring a number of incredible artists.
For our students this class has given them a chance to break out the sketchbooks and pick up ideas from the visual history and urban energy. We're happy to be a part of this group and look forward to seeing everyone's project and getting to know a few of you better.
