Going Dottie
|
Course Description: Adult/child (aged 7-11) teams will work together, using fingers likebrushes, swabs, sticks and sponges to create art with dots, in the styles of Georges Seurat, or Australian Aboriginal Art, or our own special inspiration. For older participants, working directly with paint and surfaces will help to liberate the child within. The movements, colors and textures tap into the natural and primitive essence that exists in each of us. While the results may not be suitable for framing, the experience will be one for the family scrapbook.
Instructors: Liz del Pilar Muñoz and Leslye Bloom, certified art teachers and BRAAexhibiting Artists. Volunteer Aide: BeBe Onasoga.
Course Fee: $50 per pair (one person school-age, and one person older, preferably related.) Art supplies will be provided at no cost. |
