Art of Sign Language

Sunday, May 1, 1:00 - 2:30 PM

Meridith Gray

Cost: $50 general ticket for you + a child (under 18)
$60 general ticket + childcare

Meridith is a deaf and hard-of-hearing artist, interpreter, and educator. She grew up in mid-Missouri in a large college town. One of four siblings, she is the second child with hearing loss after her brother, succeeded by a deaf nephew. After graduating from Columbia College with a degree in drawing and painting, she was drawn to continue pursuing teacher certification and interpreter certification. She has since worked as a freelance artist and interpreter, and educator. She has always had a passion for working within the community, especially with children. She works in education from preschool to graduate school. She was never able to decide between her passions, so she pursues them all equally.

During this experience, Meridith Gray will share the Art of Sign Language. Art of Sign Language teaches basic American Sign Language and provides materials to create a piece of original artwork depicting the sign for 'I Love You'. Participants will learn the alphabet and numbers, paint on a pre-primed canvas and play a matching game for review while it dries. To conclude, I will share resources for how to continue learning to sign with the Deaf community.

Thank you Meridith for sharing your gift with the community!

$50 for class and you are invited to bring a young learner under 18 along to the participate in the experience. $60 with childcare during the class. @mgrayart @artofsignlanguage Www.mgrayart.com
