This 3-week Saturday morning maker series will introduce budding artists ages 6-11 to the eye-popping world of abstract art making, with a little history thrown in! Inspired by American artist, Frank Stella and his amazing constructions, weeks 1 and 2 will focus on a painting, layering and working with different shapes and patterns and discuss how compositions are made. Week 3, we will create a custom lego-based sculpture as our inspiration for a bright and colourful painting!
Led by artist and ECFTA Arts Educator Eileen MacArthur.
Ages 6-11
$75 for all 3 sessions
Max 15 kids
