Explore Different Cultures

EXPLORE DIFFERENT CULTURES: Draw, paint, sculpt & print
Grades 3-5
As artists, we can virtually travel anywhere for inspiration. Come join in the fun of exploring different cultures, experimenting with a variety of media and learning new techniques. Travel to Mexico to model a Oaxcan animal in clay and paint it with patterns using bright colors, as well as design a Bark painting with flowers and animals. Explore the Rainforest to create a multi-media piece with pop-up animals and plants and make an animal print. Discover the work of British artist David Hockney and draw and paint pieces on canvas, inspired by his vivid landscape paintings. Work on your drawing and painting skills and try sculpting and printing. Bring your imagination and an old T-shirt as a smock. If you have taken the class before, there will be adaptations for you to do different projects.
The class meets in the Pottery Studio downstairs in the Schoolhouse.
Lower Schoolhouse: the brick building located in the trianglar land which is a right off of Mountain Rd.
The parking lot is to the right.
Walk across the street from the parking lot and around to the other side of the building to enter on the lower floor.
The sign on the door says “Pottery Studio.”
- Materials are included. Please bring an old T-shirt or smock, and your creativity!
