Teens participating in the summer reading challenge at their hometown Pioneer library can learn how to modify traditional watercolor painting techniques to create a mixed-media masterpiece when they join a hands-on workshop with artist Lynn Melton. Melton is an Oklahoma Arts Council touring artist who holds a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from Montana State University. She has expertise in printmaking, painting, mosaics, murals as well as restoring or coloring photographs.
The hands-on workshops will be two hours long beginning at 2 p.m. in all the libraries with all supplies provided. Registration is required to attend. First on the tour will be the Norman Public Library, 225 N. Webster, Tuesday, June 10. Tecumseh Public Library, 114 N. Broadway, follows with the workshop on Tuesday, June 17; Shawnee Public Library, 101 N. Philadelphia, Wednesday, June 18.
The tour continues with Blanchard Public Library, 300 N. Main, Thursday, June 19; Newcastle Public Library, 705 NW 10th, Friday, June 20; Moore Public Library, 225 S. Howard, Monday, June 23.; Purcell Public Library, 919 N. Ninth, Tuesday, June 24; McLoud Public Library, 133 N. Main, Wednesday, June 25; and finally, Noble Public Library, 204 N. Fifth, Thursday, June 26.
This touring program is part of the teen summer reading challenge “Metamorphosis @ Your Library,” which features programs for teens ages 12 through 18. Teens who sign up will receive a String Back Bag and chances to win prizes.
Other traveling programs that will tour the system’s libraries in June and July include T-Shirt Surgery with Kiona Wooton-Millirons and Bug Grossology presented by Science Museum Oklahoma. Another summer program for some libraries will be a program titled, Transform Yourself Makeover presented by Origins Cosmetics.
All the programs are free, thanks to the support of local Friends of the Public Library organizations. In addition to the touring programs, each library has special events and promotions planned exclusively for the teens in their community.
