Exploring Visual Language for children, ages 5-12, with Mellissa Morris.
Saturdays 10 a.m. -11 a.m. Children will explore visual language through collage, painting and drawing. Drop-ins welcome. $10.00 per class. Children will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with proper art tools – easel, paint brushes, palette knives and palettes – in a welcoming, friendly space. We will explore paint mediums:  tempura, water color, and acrylic. Children will be encouraged to explore art elements – line, texture, shape, color and value – all while engaging in conversations about technique and their own work. This class builds critical thinking skills, eye-hand coordination and self esteem.
