Meet the Artist: Emilio Sweet-Coll
June 15 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Emilio Sweet-Coll, an animator and musician based in Los Angeles who uses drawings and animation to interpret birdsong, is visiting Acadia National Park this week as an artist-in-residence. You have two chances this week to meet them, see their work, and contribute to their work in progress.
The first is a talk at 10am Thursday at the Sieur de Monts Nature Center. The artist will be joined by Laura Sebastianelli, a sound recordist specializing in bird vocalization. Together, they will share examples of creative and scientific visualization of bird sounds and then lead a workshop for visitors on surrounding trails. Bring a camp chair or blanket for seating.
The second event – a pop-up activity from 2pm to 5pm Saturday at Frazer Point on Schoodic Peninsula – offers visitors the opportunity to contribute to an animation in progress by drawing and painting a sequence of images of a Great Blue Heron.
Both events are free and family friendly for ages 8 and above.
