Megan Hinton.

Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) is offering the in-person workshop, "Plein Air: Watercolor Revisited," once a week from September 10–October 1. This workshop will be taught by Megan Hinton, an artist, published art writer, educator, and lecturer who's received fellowships from organizations across the globe. "Plein Air" aims to demystify watercolor, a medium often characterized as "unforgiving" and requiring extreme precision to get right. Students will learn how to embrace watercolor through one-on-one and group feedback with the instructor, technical demonstrations and in-class exercises. The workshop will take place outdoors, allowing the surrounding landscape to serve as a model and reference. Famous artworks by classical and contemporary watercolor painters will serve as inspiration. There's no required skill level and everyone from beginners to advanced painters can sign up. "Plein Air" is perfect for experienced artists looking to sharpen their craft and new artists looking to learn something new. The workshop will take place Thursdays 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m., with the rain date being Fridays of the same week. PAAM is located at 460 Commercial Street in Provincetown, Massachusetts. To sign up for "Plein Air" or learn more, visit paam.org/museum-school-workshops/watercolor-revisited.

The Museum of Russian Icons is offering a host of programs on their website for those who want to learn about art from the comfort of their home. Many of these programs are webinars, covering unique topics such as the symbols of Easter used in Russian art and how practicing iconographers make sense of the modern world. Some of their programs, hosted by the museum's Education Director Amy Consalvi, offer a more hands-on experience. One video is a tutorial on how to easily create a metal icon using the repoussé metalworking method, using materials you likely already have. If you aren't sure of what design you want to create, Museum of Russian Icons has templates you can download and print. Also available is a fun tutorial on how to infuse vodka with fruit. The museum normally serves infused vodka during their exhibit openings, but since COVID has prevented them from happening, Consalvi shows viewers how to make it themselves. For children, the museum offers a reading of the children's book "The Abbott and I" by Sarah Elizabeth Cowie, about a cat named Josie who lives in a monastery. Consalvi reads the story to viewers with her pet rabbit Cooper as company. Parents can also download and print an activity sheet for their child to complete after they've heard the story. People of all ages can find a program at The Museum of Russian Icons that teaches them something new and sparks their creativity and imagination.

Bruce Musesum is offering a wide variety of virtual programs to provide education and entertainment to all patrons, even if they can't visit the museum in-person. For adults, the museum offers "At Home with Dr. Louise Flax," a series of art classes that offer new artistic perspectives and help viewers improve their craft without requiring specialized materials. Dr. Flax covers topics such as design creation, 3D drawing, cubism and plenty of others. In addition to these lessons, Bruce Museum offers a wealth of content for families. Emulating the museum's in-person family weekend programs, the "Digital Weekends with the Bruce" series offers activities for families to do from the comfort of their home. Teaching artist Grayson Kennedy and Youth and Family Programs Manager Megan Brown lead videos on activities like assemblage art, landscape drawing and flower pressing. Accompanying write-ups give an overview of each lesson to further help children through each activity. Children ages 3–5 can watch "Bruce Beginnings," a series of videos led by museum educators designed to teach interesting concepts and offer parents ideas for interactive activities. The videos include a discussion of one of Bruce Museum's online exhibitions and a reading of a related story book. These three series only scratch the surface of what Bruce Museum has available for adults and children alike, giving viewers of all ages the chance to learn something new.
