There will be a critique at the end of each class so that the students may discuss their piece with the group using ‘constructive criticism’ to talk about the work.
The Greater Pine Island Kiwanis Club and Williamson Brothers have generously donated money to supplement their art supplies so that we may explore different techniques, and a variety of materials.
These free art classes for children are taught by Karen Hartshorne, President, Museum of the Islands. Email her with any questions [email protected].
Looking forward to seeing you!
