Take a look at nature through the lens of an artist; draw the lines, paint the colors and assemble the shapes in this hands-on multi-media residency. Use principles of line to sketch and shade a flower, learn the warms and contrasting cools to paint a cherry blossom, and build shapes together to make a paper collage or fused glass butterfly. Choose a subject matter that fits with curriculum, and the students make 3 or 4 take-home projects. This residency will focus on using specific elements of art to see and create the beauty of nature.
The artist will encourage students to explore the qualities of each art medium- some will find a whole new form of expression. Each student will create a unique and expressive form of art.
