Hutchinson Art Center
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Monthly's children's art projects have returned to the Hutchinson Art Center. There will be more make-and-take art projects for children on February 24.
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.
Group A will be making acrylic monoprints and learn about printmaking as a medium and explore subtractive methods of mark making. Children will experiment with making different textures and shapes using a variety of tools to create unique compositions. After multiple prints are made and dry, children will have the choice to add colored pencils to one or more prints they made if time allows.
Group B will be making a mixed media acrylic monoprint and learn about printmaking as a medium and explore subtractive methods of mark making using a variety of tools. Students will also create their own stencil which they may incorporate into their print. After multiple prints are made, children will have the opportunity to add colored pencils to one or more prints. The group will discuss movement, abstraction in art, pattern, texture, and using analogous colors to create unique compositions.
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.
Each group art class costs $8 per child.
February’s theme is "You are One of a Kind!" To celebrate the fact that each human is a unique and valuable gift to the world, the project is monoprints, with only one edition of each design.

Hurry! Registration is limited to 15 students/group per month.
