Don’t miss out on being a part of this fresco workshop led by Chafa Ghaddar at the NYUAD Art Gallery
How about a fresco workshop at the NYUAD Art Gallery this weekend?
Limited to just 10 participants, don’t miss out on being a part of this unique fresco workshop led by artist and teacher Chafa Ghaddar, as part of the programme for the exhibition In Real Time, in which her fresco painting is featured.
Perfect for adults looking to explore the art form, the workshop begins with an introduction to the fresco mural that Ghaddar created for the exhibition. Participants will look closely at how the artwork is divided into different sections/fragments and observe the natural details that fill its surfaces.
The artist will tour participants through the use of the fresco technique as well as the decisions she made when creating this particular work.

Chafa will then lead the group through activities in which the participants will create their interpretation of natural elements while learning three different methods related to fresco: printing with lace, the dotting tool, and painting with pigments.

They will apply their gestures on a variety of surfaces that will be provided such as paper, canvas, stone, and wood. The technique and art-making period will last two hours.
And finally, in the last half hour, the participants will gather all the elements they’ve created and work collectively to suggest one large horizontal landscape, followed by a reflection discussion and clean up.
