Hutchinson Art Center
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Come to the Hutchinson Art Center on Saturday, September 21 for make-and-take art classes for kids.
This is an opportunity for children aged 6 through 12 to create their own work of art! Students will be divided into two groups: Group A (1:00 - 2:30 p.m.) and Group B (3:00 - 4:30 p.m.), with each group covering different skills. Each group art class costs $8 per child.
September's theme is "Adventures in Map-Making"!
Students will learn how to fuse information together with creativity to make their own unique maps that portray imagined locations and characters, while practicing their line and contour drawing skills, visual storytelling skills, and Japanese art of Momigami.
Group A and B will both be creating maps that depict an epic adventure.
Children will view a variety of maps and learn about geographical features like waterfalls, mountains, and prairies. They will use this information and their imaginations to design a map that tells of an imagined place and characters they met along the journey using pens, sharpies, and colored pencils.
Children will practice line or contour drawing skills, imaginative story telling, and the art of Momigami (kneading paper to make it feel like cloth).
Parents and guardians are encouraged to sign up their child for either Group A or Group B depending on skill level and interest. In general, the Group A project is simpler and aimed toward children aged 6-7, while the Group B project is a bit more complex and is aimed toward children aged 8-12.
Learn more about these classes and register your child by visiting the Art Center website.
Registration is limited to 15 students/group per month.
