Item Description

Ann Ladd (White Plains)

Ann Ladd teach many different forms of art to all ages but always encourage creative thinking to try something new. For schools and programs that want a large scale mural project she lays out paper and paints and give a theme to the project and have the students paint on the paper. Then the painted subject, a fish or tree is cut out and collaged into a mural. In some classes there are several thousands of cut outs. The fun begins when it all comes together into a beautiful mural all painted by the students. This technique allows her to be both more creative and flexible. A love for the arts runs deep in Ladd’s family, starting with her grandfather. That passion was then inherited by her father — a West Point officer who sculpted, painted and made jewelry and woodcarvings — and then, two generations later, by Ladd and her brother, and her children.  Ladd is a White Plains based artist who works as a teaching artist at both ArtsWestchester and the Rye Arts Center
