Robert Rauschenberg was an American painter associated with both the Pop Art Movement and Abstract Expressionism. He is well known for his Combines, which took personal objects and found material from the streets of NYC and incorporated that into both 2D and 3D works which reflected the grit of the city.

He also believed strongly in using the power of art as a catalyst for social change. He advocated for environmental causes, designing the first Earth Day poster. In this lesson you will use collage materials to make your own sculptural painting that reflects your experience in a city.

Ticket includes art history lesson and all art materials including a 9x12 inch canvas to paste your collage onto. Coveralls/ smocks will be provided to protect your clothing.
