Los Nietos Library

Meeting Room

Join us to create a watercolor postcard inspired by professional artist Chiura Obata who was an inmate at a Japanese incarceration camp and taught classes in drawing and painting portraits and remembrances of life before incarceration.

They taught classes in drawing and painting that varied from scenes of daily life in camps to portraits and remembrances of life before incarceration. Gaman art reflects their spirit of resourcefulness and creativity.  For adults
