Get ready for some artistic fun as Steamroller Art returns to all seven of Northwest Regional Libraries. Bring out the whole family for this outdoor event featuring a small steamroller that makes prints for both kids and adults. ArtOrg
is a traveling art team whose events are popular state-wide. Most artists, from children to senior citizens, are photographed with their finished lithographs. The smiles on their faces prove the effectiveness of this program.
The ArtOrg Thousand Print Summer 2011 is coming to a library near you soon. When guests arrive, they check in, get their supplies, and sit down under the tent to cut up materials to make a personal printing block. The ArtOrg team takes the finished block and rolls it up with ink. Each inky block gets put on the runway with a piece of paper on top. At this point, they start up the steamroller and roll over it. Once it is thoroughly inked, the artist peels back the paper to reveal a wonderful art print, their very own piece of original Steamroller Art.
