Come and make art side by side as a family. Each week, families will explore a new medium and create a beautiful project together. Participants will be introduced to the elements of shape and how it is evident in nature and art. Each class will begin outdoors with a short walk to observe shapes found in nature. In the studio participants will be invited to create their own shape inspired artwork. We’ll learn about artist like Wasilly Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Henri Matisse to discover how the element of shape influenced them. This week we will explore Mondrian Squares.
