Concept
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a drone? No, it’s art! Creativity soars in this workshop as students use a wide variety of materials to make various mixed-media projects where the sky’s the limit. Participants look UP for inspiration as they paint, draw, cut, paste and sculpt with clay. Images will be projected on the ceiling and stories read about bugs, birds and hot air balloons. There will even be a sky filled with shooting stars to display their beautiful work. The students also learn facts about the weather and planets as they enjoy an artistic adventure in the clouds.
