Coronado Community READ Event: Art with Joel Anderson

2022/04/07 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm PDT

Join Joel Anderson for an afternoon of painting! Follow along with Joel as you paint a giraffe as part of the Coronado Community Read. This program is geared towards elementary school students, but all are welcome.

“A 31-year-old artist, author, international speaker, ambassador, and philanthropist from Fallbrook, California, Joel Anderson creates in acrylic, mixed media, digital media, animation, glass, and video production. ‘My passion is for my art to make you smile. I enjoy using bright colors. When I hear music, I see color in the notes and sometimes that will show up in my art. When I paint portraits, I paint upside down so I do not get distracted by the emotions of the eyes of my subject. This way I can paint the shapes and shadows. In the end I will flip it over to finish the eyes and hope to capture the soul. I draw for the children at school assemblies. It makes me happy when students say my art has inspired them to be an artist. I hope to continue travel for inspiration and to share my art around the globe.'”

Joel Anderson has been to Peru, China, Japan, Canada, and across the USA where he has spoken on autism, inclusion, and friendship. Anderson’s art has been featured in The California Museum in Sacramento, The National Art Center of Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan, The H.H. Dorjie Chang Buddha II Cultural & Art Museum in Covina, The Soho Gallery for Digital Art in NYC, and more.
