In this four-week session learn about the exciting art of pointillism. Pointillism is a fun technique where the artist applies paint on the canvas using dots. Up close these paintings may look like random jumbles of colored dots, but from far away the colors mix together visually. The first two weeks we will explore this scientific phenomenon and make various projects exploring different tools and media using this technique. The last two weeks will be dedicated to making your own acrylic painting masterpiece on a stretched canvas with this technique, utilizing the skills learned.
All materials are supplied. Space is limited to six so please sign up early at Salmon River Fine Arts Center Square Site.
*Option for after school bus drop off from Pulaski. (School will need a note from parents for each day.) A snack will be provided.

In this 4-week series, students will have the opportunity to try new techniques for creating various mixed media projects.
May 6 and 13. Explore 3-dimensional mixed media using fabric scraps and glue to create amazing fabric bowls. Bowls will be designed and molded in the May 6 class, then allowed to dry. The following week, we will embellish and decorate the dried bowls with rope, string, buttons, shells, and other trim pieces.
May 20 and June 3. Our focus will be the soothing neurographic style of drawing and painting with alcohol markers and watercolor. Results are unique artistry that each student will bring to life in a style of their own.
