(5 PDPs) Using some of our favorite picture books and our beautiful surrounds, we'll explore ways to link the art and design of the picture book with an exploration of the natural world and a variety of open-ended art projects. Designed to enhance your science curriculum or provide ways to share outdoor time with your children, the program includes time spent outside, so please dress accordingly. We also suggest you bring a brownbag lunch in order to maximize workshop time.

 June 2, 2016 1:00pm - 4:00pm $40 (Members $34) (3 PDPs) Experiment with stamping, texture rubbings, and other ways to make unique collage papers with young children. Learn about how the Art Studio uses collage to connect young children with picture books, literacy, the creative thinking process, and their own curiosities. As we create collages of our own, we'll dip into design and color theory to better help us understand how picture book artists think and work. Leave with art you've made yourself, texture making tools, and ideas you can use in the classroom or at home.
