Carroll Gardens artist and educator Triada Samara
Like many educators, she has been keeping in touch with her students online during the Corona epidemic. A few days ago, she shared her newest project with us: a blog entitled Learning Art At Home created in partnership with William Paterson University, and funded by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, which provides "a means of online storytelling pertaining to art education to serve children and families in the Paterson, NJ school district."
We were so enchanted with the wonderful videos that Samaras created and the delightful ideas she is sharing with kids and their parents, that we asked her if we could share them with BoCoCa parents.
No doubt, your little ones will enjoy these videos as well. So go on over to Samaras' blog so that your kids can learn about art and join in the fun.
For over 15 years Greek-American artist Triada Samaras has been exploring the themes of identity, house/home, voice, and geography in her artwork, often in art activist and socially engaged contexts in New York City and Athens, Greece that have won her international recognition.
Samaras is also a studio artist working in Brooklyn where she creates personal and idiosyncratic interpretations of these themes in paintings, drawings and sculptures, that often feature her poems and writings.
Her recent exhibitions include: “Unbound” a solo exhibition at Paterson Museum, Paterson, New Jersey.
Originally educated in Fine Art at Smith College, Northampton, MA and the Museum School of Fine Art in Boston, Samaras has also completed graduate work in art, art education, and interdisciplinary art at Columbia University in New York, and Goddard College in Vermont. She is currently an Adjunct Professor of Drawing and Fine Art at Kean University and Art and Art Education at William Paterson University.
