Nejia Akovali and her daughter Zeynep Akovali have been coming to Prospect to share the Turkish art of Ebru with the Humanities classes since around 2018 according to Humanities Literature teacher Nicole Stoltz.
The Akovali’s place their natural paint on a solution containing carrageenan, which allows the paint colors to remain separated. They then use a variety of brush techniques to carefully place the paint onto the solution.
Several groups of students were able to participate in the experience, and the classes rotated in and out admiring the process of the art and the finished art from their classmates.
