The art of storytelling is thousands of years old. Histories or morals, each story that has existed puts pictures in the mind. Visual artists become illustrators of the world through the storytelling of their own mental images instead of words.

In this class, students will listen to a story to inspire them to create an artwork of their own impressions of the story. Students will create a 3D collage inspired by a scene from the story. 

Ages 6-8

Join Stephanie McGee in exploring origami, an ancient artform created through geometry and meditation!

Seemingly complex folds of accurate angles, planes and corners are used by the student to create exquisite pieces of art. Once learned, the forms fall into place and let the mind wander in a meditatative flow of repetition and muscle memory. 

These classes are an excellent tool for the young artist to develop their motor skills and deepen their three dimensional processing!

All supplies provided via the supply fee!!
