SUMMARY:Art and Storytime (6-8)
DESCRIPTION:The art of storytelling is thousands of years old. Histories or morals\, each story that has existed puts pictures in the mind. Visual artists become illustrators of the world through the storytelling of their own mental images instead of words. \nIn this class\, students will listen to a story to inspire them to create an artwork of their own impressions of the story. Students will create a 3D collage inspired by a scene from the story. \nAges 6-8 \nSunday\, February 14 \n12-2 pm \nRegistration Fee: $38   Supply Fee: $5

SUMMARY:Exploring Composition: In the Mood
DESCRIPTION:The crucial role of composition in art is to establish balance and harmony in one’s artwork\, while at the same time effectively using contrast to provide interest.
