As part of Miami International Airport\u2019s ongoing celebration of America\u2019s 250th anniversary, two local artists treated passengers and employees to hands-on art experiences this week to kick off MIA\u2019s Artist Demo Summer Series.<\/p>\n
During two-hour sessions near gate D37, renowned Miami artist and illustrator Brian Reedy<\/a> and Haitian-born Miami artist Annick Duvivier<\/a> demonstrated how they bring their dynamic works to life and then got visitors into the act by teaching them how to create their own works of art so they could take a memento of Miami\u2019s art culture home with them.<\/p>\n On July 21, Duvivier provided passengers with magazine clippings of images from across America\u2019s 50 states and guided them to design photo collages that blended their own stories, travels, and chosen imagery into a quick art project. Known for creating vibrant, uplifting art that elevates positive energy, Duvivier invited participants to see how she weaves varied visual elements into her unique style.<\/p>\n The following day, Reedy hosted a hands-on block printing session featuring historic images from Miami-Dade County. Reedy is known worldwide for his distinctive ink-block prints on wood, influenced by traditional Ukiyo-e, Japanese, and European Medieval block prints.<\/p>\n ‘;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As part of Miami International Airport\u2019s ongoing celebration of America\u2019s 250th anniversary, two local artists treated passengers and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351149,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[17369,30438,123,125,124,17370],"class_list":["post-351148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-carousel","tag-found-at-mia","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miami-dade-aviation-department"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351148\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
