ART MAKES US

Saturday, January 23, 2021, 1-2 pm EST / 10-11 am PST

Let’s go under the sea! Join us for an underwater adventure for kids ages 5 through 9. We will use some simple art materials along with a cardboard box to create a 3 dimensional aquarium filled with fish, plants, and whatever you can imagine. Workshop will be held virtually using Zoom and instructed by artists Melissa Forman and Paul Richmond with Art Makes Us.

Here’s a link to an inexpensive recommended supply list from Blick: Art Supplies. These are just suggestions. You are welcome to work with whatever materials you would like. In addition to these materials, you will need a cardboard box that will serve as the foundation for your aquarium.

Melissa and Paul will guide you step-by-step, with lots of stories and laughs along the way! All proceeds will benefit Art Makes Us, an organization dedicated to providing opportunities for each individual to discover and nurture the artist within.
