In this fun mixed-media art class, students will join Ms Rachel Simpson in making a forest scene of birch trees and your animal of choice to walk through the trees. We’ll collaborate in the art project together in pairs, as we learn how to draw and paint in a wide variety of materials, experiment with different kinds of painting methods, use our imaginations to add an animal in your woodland world, and share our creations with each other.
Ages: 5-12 years old and adult collaborator (parent/caregiver)
Cost: $35 per adult & child pair ($30 participation, $5 materials fee)
Date, Time, Location: Saturday, May 11 from 10:00am - 1:00pm. In-person class in MoNA’s Art Studio.
