Students ages 6-10 will paint a colorful night sky full of stars amidst a city and/or forest skyline silhouette. Each student will create their own piece using acrylic paints, painters tape, and pens and markers on a heavy-weighted mixed-media paper that will be available to take home the same day. We will be learning the very beginnings of color theory – cool vs warm colors and the properties of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors – as we mix and blend to make colors for our night sky. We will also be using a fun (and a little messy) painting technique called wet splatter for our free-formed stars. Come dressed in clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on!

Class minimum: 4

Class maximum: 12
