SUMMARY:Part 1: Layers of the Land – Abstracting the Acadia Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Part 1: Layers of the Land – Abstracting the Acadia 
 Landscape\n\nAges 12 and older (younger children may attend with an adult)
  Maximum 12 participants | Duration: 2 hours In this hands-on workshop at 
 ArtWaves MDI\, participants will explore the textures\, colors\, and patte
 rns of Acadia National Park through a curated collection of found natural 
 objects—such as stones\, driftwood fragments\, dried grasses\, bark\, an
 d sea-worn materials. Using these objects as visual and tactile references
 \, we will examine how shape\, repetition\, contrast\, and surface inform 
 our understanding of place. \n\nThe session will include a guided discussi
 on on how artists abstract a landscape—moving from direct observation to
  interpretation by simplifying forms\, exaggerating scale\, layering color
 \, and emphasizing rhythm and movement rather than literal representation.
  Participants will learn how abstraction can express memory\, atmosphere\,
  and ecological character. Participants will then create their own hand-pa
 inted collage papers using upcycled materials\, drawing inspiration from A
 cadia’s coastal palette—granite grays\, ocean blues\, lichen greens\, 
 and weathered earth tones. These papers will be assembled into layered abs
 tract compositions that reflect the contours\, energy\, and textures of th
 e Acadia landscape\, merging mindful observation with creative experimenta
 tion.\n\n
