The Huntington Museum of Art looks forward to welcoming Don Pendleton as a Walter Gropius Master Artist. An exhibit titledParis Signs Presents: Fine Lines: The Artwork of Don Pendleton goes on view at HMA March 8 and continues through June 1, 2014. The artist will speak about his work on April 10, 2014, at 7 p.m. Admission to the April 10 presentation is free. Refreshments will be served.
Don Pendleton will return to HMA for a skateboard demonstration event at 2 p.m. May 17, 2014. Don Pendleton is also presenting a three-day workshop at HMA titled
Fine Lines: The Art of Skateboard Graphics, which will take place from April 11-April 13, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. To register or for workshop fee information, call (304) 529-2701. As skateboards have made their way from the streets into some of the largest museums in the world, the Huntington Museum of Art explores this cultural phenomenon and the fine line between commercial art and fine art with Pendleton's three-day workshop. During the workshop, Pendleton says participants will immerse themselves in the history of skateboard graphics, culture and design and also create their own original piece on a skateboard deck. The workshop will encourage participants to focus on the fundamentals of solid design on the most basic level, using sketchbooks and pens/pencils to explore the ideas of space, balance, contrast, shape and typography.
