HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Go to the Hutchinson Art Center with your kids on Saturday, Oct. 12 for make-and-take art classes at the Hutchinson Art Center.

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.

October's theme is Chameleons!

The center is celebrating the changing colors of fall with a vibrant foil monoprint Chameleon project! This engaging activity blends the art of printing with the fascinating world of chameleons.

Groups A and B will both be practicing contour drawing their own unique chameleons – there are so many shapes, sizes and colors to choose from! Students will also delve into the process of foil Mono-printing, learning how to use washable markers to color a piece of foil, which will then be sprayed with water. By placing their chameleon drawing on the wet foil, students will transfer the ink, creating beautiful textures that mimic reptile skin. Finally, students will design a habitat or a simple background for their chameleon.

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.

Register online here. Registration is limited to 15 children per class.
