PD Day April: The Day of Nothing!
April 24 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Let’s explore the idea of NOTHING! Zero, blank, nil. What does nothing look like? A void, boredom, a black hole? Is it like “putting blue into your head”? The word “nothing” is real, but does “nothing” really exist?
Nothing can be a starting point, it can be a beginning…a blank canvas! Enjoy a day of rotating activities and projects, combined with fresh air outside! (a ton of EVERYTHING, really)
Led by artists and ECFTA Arts Educators Eileen MacArthur and Natalie McDonald.
Ages 4 -11 (in two different groups)
$56 per session
Max 24 kids (more…)

This class is all about painting in the great outdoors! We will begin inside in the classroom with a short lesson covering the fundamentals of working outside including how to choose a subject, composition and how to paint some simple textures. Then we head outside, rain or shine, to the yard at the Art Centre, set up our easels and create a watercolour painting en plein air!
Led by artist and ECFTA Arts Educator Eileen MacArthur.
