Lori Hepner, a professor of integrative arts at Penn State Greater Allegheny and the 2023-24 Penn State Laureate, will host a drop-in participatory light painting workshop at Penn State Behrend. The Drawing with Light Workshop, scheduled for Tuesday, February 27, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., at Reed Auditorium, 117 Reed Union Building, invites attendees to use programmable LED light devices, including wearable LEDs and a 6’ tall light stick. These devices serve as Hepner’s photographic paintbrushes to visualize movements in real-time projections. She will use the imagery created during the event to create public art for display across Penn State.
The event is free and open to the public; no registration or prior skills needed. Attendees are kindly asked to refrain from wearing scented products.
