Description

Grab the kiddos, a blanket and a snack, or grab some food from a nearby restaurant, and join us for some low-key suppertime art in the park! Rose Madder, Celestial Skies, Golden Hour... we’ll be combining colors and words to make visual and verbal poetry using paint chip samples from the hardware store. A cool project for any age even pre-readers, we’ll explore how different combinations of words and images influence language choice making abstract thoughts into a tangible art piece. Thursday nights in June and August we'll be making a host of unconventional and totally cool interactive objects together, from sewing Frankenzombie stuffed animals to drawing the world's largest comic book- we'll be working in all types of mediums with art making for every age. Workshops are free with all supplies included, but you will need to pre-register. We will be practicing social distance protocols with lots of hand washing. Kids, teens and their adult friends are all encouraged to participate with individual and group projects. Pets welcome, and snacks and drinks will be available if you don't want to bring your own! About the instructor: Arts educator Shawn Bowman specializes in renegade art education creating humorous modern artifacts, workshop instruction and game design.
