acting as interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and 
working on the family’s struggling fishing boat every day before school 
with her father and older brother (Daniel Durant). But when Ruby joins 
her high school’s choir club…[she] finds herself torn between the 
obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.” 
This movie was filmed in Gloucester, Rockport, Beverly, and Boston, 
Massachusetts.

Explore one of the "forgotten" elements in art: TEXTURE, or the appearance of texture, with frottage, which is a rubbing made from any uneven or patterned surface, and it is beloved by kindergarteners and the surrealists alike.
Using dry materials (like colored pencils, crayons, graphite) and glue, we will create various flat textures to collage together onto paper. We'll rub, tear, cut and combine to create something original out of oddments. Suitable for folks seeking a creative night out, as well as for artists into collaging, textures or playing. 
Feel free to bring your own scissors and any colored or textured paper that you love. Otherwise bring your sense of play and adventure for an evening of art making!&nbsp;
