After School Art Adventures (for children K-5)

Four Thursdays 4-5pm starting Jan 15

 

In this 4-week session with local art teacher Mrs McKay, we are diving into the world of modernized 3D art inspired by artists such as Ben Giles and Wojtek Babski. In the modern world of selfies, join us to create your own 3D ‘self collage’. The recycled items that we will use will be carefully and independently chosen by each child and creatively put together to create one piece of art…a selfie to save for life! This hands-on experience not only fosters creativity but also imparts valuable lessons in collaboration and artistic expression. More info HERE.

$185 for family level members per 4-week session / $210 for non members (all supplies included).
