SUMMARY:"A-Muse-Me" funny faces by Aleathia Brown 
DESCRIPTION:“A-Muse-Me” funny faces by Aleathia Brown  \nDate: Saturday\, October 3\, 2026 (Rescheduled from September 26)\nTime: 6-9 pm\nLocation: The Children’s Art Carnival\,  62 Hamilton Terrace\, New York\, NY 10031 \n“A-Muse-Me” funny faces or Caricature Art dates back in ancient Africa from 500BC-200AD. Some of the earliest known caricatures and stylized faces were known in the sub-Saharan region\, coming from the Nok Culture. Famous for their large\, pierced\, almond-shaped eyes\, flared nostrils\, and elaborate hairstyles. Exaggeration of the human face is a tradition in African Art and masquerade. Looking at the So’ o masks by the Hemba People in Central Africa and the Baule People in West Africa\, with Kple masks noting their caricatures with bulging eyes\, wide grins\, and compressed features representing spirits\, ancestors\, or satirical characters with human traits. We create a story by building the features for each character. \nIn this Adult Wellness session using diluted acrylic paint\, participants create caricatures with exaggerated features\, elongated necks\, and bold facial features. Each palette will be colorful. Participants walk away with their own personal masterpiece\, including the history and origin\, for a deeper appreciation of the past impacting the present. \nArt from a perspective with history while living in the present brings added value to discovery and the brilliance art-making has. Beauty with purpose has weight and a timelessness. Your imagination is invited on the journey. This Art Workshop will be guided by Master Teaching Artist Aleathia Brown. Welcome to the table\, New Artists and professional creatives alike. \n \nCommunity Engagement benefits when we all invest into the process.\nTo Sponsor a ticket or 2 or more for those unable to pay wanting/needing to attend is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving.

SUMMARY:Cubist Masks Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Harlem families!\n\nCome on out and join artist Elan Cadiz for her fun mixed media classes designed for all family members. We will build\, cut\, rip\, draw\, paste and more. Join Us on Saturdays (Oct 24\, Nov 14\, & Dec 12 from 1pm – 3pm) Classes will highlight a topic and participants will leave with a one of a kind collage each class. \nAfrican art provided the foundational aesthetic principles for Cubism\, a movement pioneered by artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement which began in Paris. Cubist subjects are analyzed\, broken up\, and reassembled in an abstract form.
