Workshop 3, Family Mixed Media Play

Workshop 3, Family Mixed Media Play

September 19th (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 authentic art experiences as they complete a series of open ended drawing and collage activities designed to encourage innovation and risk taking. The students will use a variety of materials to experience the possibilities of different art mediums used together.

Students will be given verbal steps, with some examples and reference photos, of shapes and lines  that they will draw, cut, color and adhere to another surface. They will then verbally be given prompts to engage in innovative thinking and creative play as they build on each shape to develop a completed piece.

Students will begin building on each line and shape, incorporating other details and art materials to express their unique perspective. Students are also encouraged to collaborate with fellow family members and combine their work.

Materials and Tools: variety of paper (aluminum, wrapping, grocery bags, etc), pens, pencils, coloring materials, scissors, tape and/or glue
