Nature Art Classes as Joppa Flats: Fun in the Leaves

Kids will have fun expressing themselves using autumn leaves at Joppa Flats.

Have you ever wished you could draw like a real artist? Or did you ever wonder how artists make images of birds, animals, flowers, and imaginary creatures to look and feel so real? If so, then this is the class for you! We'll use collage and various materials to make seasonal representations of nature's beauty. Our art teacher inspires students to create "wow" works of art and helps them discover, in surprising and wonderful ways, all the things they don't know that they actually do know and can do.  This week we will have fun through art with Autumn leaves!
