Workshop 1, Family Sketchbook Play

Workshop 1, Family Sketchbook Play

August 29th (10:30-11:30am) Via Zoom

Ages 3 and Up

The beginning of the school year, with so much unknown, can bring a whole lotta feelings so gather the whole family and join artist/author/illustrator/teacher Kait Walsh for one or all of her three part Creative Play series. Through a series of guided exercises Kait will help engage the whole family in imaginative play and collaboration that will leave everyone feeling excited and inspired.

Students will engage in an authentic art experience as they complete a series of open ended drawing activities designed to encourage innovation and risk taking. The students will use a variety of materials to experience the range of mark making, texture and values.

Students will be given verbal steps, with some examples, of shapes and lines to be applied to their paper. They will then be given verbal prompts to help engage them in innovative thinking and creative play. Students will begin building on each shape and line, incorporating other details and art materials to express their unique perspective. Students are also encouraged to collaborate with fellow family members.
