Join PAA for an exciting workshop exploring the plaster cast-making process using multiple techniques!

Students will create plaster plates reminiscent of oscilla, circular relief-decorated discs that adorned many ancient Roman peristyle gardens.

In addition to casting oscilla discs, participants can burnish their creations using gold powder or faux fresco using gouache paint.

The cabinet of curiosities has captivated the minds of humanity for centuries. Enroll your child and allow them to explore strange worlds, investigate scientific marvels, and paint directly from the Academy's own collection of curiosities.

Students will work from observation painting arranged still lifes that showcase our vast collection of skulls, bugs, and oddities. Get weird, historical, and painterly this summer @ 10 Nassau.

Gouache is a historical painting medium used in various forms dating back to ancient Egypt. The paint we know and use today became wildly popular during the 19th century and was often used with pastels and pencils in mixed media format.

Gouache is similar to watercolor but has been modified to be opaque. This allows artists to build layers similar to oil but leaves a chalky matte finish.
