Children ages 8-12 will explore their natural desire for individuality through self-expression in various artistic media, including acrylic painting and sculpture.
In this class, they will engage in fun and empowering art forms that encourage them to connect with their inner selves.
Activities will include creating hot glue gun sculptures from recycled materials, exploring identity through collage, and crafting painted papier-mâché masks.
Participants will study self-portraits by artists like Picasso and Frida Kahlo, using their own photographs as references to create unique portraits.
They'll also have the opportunity to design their own beaded jewelry, adding another layer to their self-expression.
