Magical Doodles Come To Life! Kid's
Art Ages: 7 & Up
Feb. 20, 21, 22 1:30 - 3:00 PM - Bristol
Clay Studio
Everyone is an artist! It just takes finding
your own personal style and the realization that a "mistake" in ART
can turn into a beautiful masterpiece. Students will be guided
with tips on how to bring their own magical
doodles to life using bright colors, lines, shapes, swirls and whatever
suits-their-fancy with acrylic paint on canvas. Starting
with ink and paper, we will practice some
small designs, then move onto bringing our
own uniqueness and originality to canvas
through layers and colors. This is NOT a Young Rembrandts Class
Instructor: Melissa Atkins $60.00 |
