Jeannette Rodríguez Píneda leads a drawing workshop inviting participants to slow down, look closely at works on view in Georgia O’Keeffe: To See Takes Time, considering the relationship between awareness, observation, and perception, and experiment with a variety of techniques and drawing materials like charcoal, pencil, watercolor, and pastel. This workshop includes creative guidance from a teaching artist, insight into O’Keeffe’s artistic process, and the opportunity to draw in multiple locations at the Museum. We’ll spend time in the exhibition, in the Sculpture Garden, and at other locations that will allow participants to respond to nature in various ways.
This workshop is intended for adult audiences eager to experiment with drawing. No experience or expertise in drawing is required. All materials are provided.
Facilitator
Jeannette Rodríguez Píneda is an Afro-Indigenous visual storyteller and education designer residing between Kiskeya/Ayiti and Lenape Mohican land. Using ancestral, plant-based image-making as a means of remembering soils called home, they explore the tension of narratives within intergenerational trauma. They collaborate with cultural institutions to design art and ecology programs that decolonize canon-based models of learning through a decentralized approach. Their pedagogical thought extends to educational frameworks such as The Teaching Artist Companion to Aesthetic Perspectives: Attributes of Excellence in Arts for Change, Meditative Curriculum, and How to hold the whole of a human, and they have worked with MoMA and the Studio Museum in Harlem on historical Black erasure, the preservation of memory, and the internal somatic shifts of abolition. They are also a licensed DEC backcountry guide, leading free bilingual hikes through Movimiento, an initiative to strengthen BIPOC connection to land.
