Hutchinson Art Center
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — There will be make-and-take art classes for children on Sat. Dec. 30 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 and Group B. Each group art class costs $8 per child.
December’s theme is "Winter Landscapes".
Each group will create their own unique project based around the month’s theme. Parents and Guardians are encouraged to sign up their children for either Group A or Group B based on the child’s interests and skill set.
Group A will meet from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. to create a Starry Night Winter Landscape using wax resist to create a magical starry night winter sky. Students will then create a variety of trees using papers with patterns and analogous colors. This project is aimed toward younger children aged 6-7.
Group B will meet from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. to plan and create their own Birch Tree Landscape based on several examples. The class will use watercolor, acrylic paint and pencil to create trees, accurate shadows, and details to make a simple but beautiful winter scene and learn about light and shadows, negative space, movement, and unity/variety. This project is aimed toward older children aged 8-12.
Extra Project: If time permits, students will make Poinsettia Prints using sponges and acrylic or tempera paint. Students will see how using sponges simplifies creating organic shapes, how texture is created by using a dryer sponge and how overlapping can create a more natural-looking floral painting.
