DISCOVERING PUTNAM COUNTY art workshop series.
Leave your home and look around – nature is right next to us. You can hear frogs in the lake, something rustles in the bushes, birds fly in the sky, sometimes there is a multitude of stars in the sky and sometimes there are none at all, the seasons change. During our art workshops, we will get to know and illustrate many questions about the surrounding world of nature. All of this we will illustrate with drawings, collages, and paintings.
In a consecutive series of art workshops, children and their families will learn the art elements (line, shape, color, value, texture, and shape), which are part of every painting along with the study of nature.
