Art Inspired by Australia's Great Barrier Reef! Online, Hands-on

According to https://GreatBarrierReef.org The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and pulling away from it, and viewing it from a greater distance, you can understand why. It is larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space.

Let's create art exploring the beauty of Australia's Great Barrier Reef - flora, fauna, islands, and ocean.

Registration is open for this unguided event. Registration closes 11:59 PM EST on Friday, August 23rd.
