Cuddle up with creativity and a whole forest of fall creatures!

Celebrate the magic of fall by exploring the adorable world of baby woodland animals through painting, drawing, and mixed media! Young artists will use a variety of materials and techniques to create playful artwork inspired by fox kits, fawns, owlets, squirrels, and other fall animal babies

Students will experiment with drawing, painting, texture, collage, and layering to bring their animal creations to life while learning about shapes, colors, patterns, and the natural world around them.

Come get creative, get a little messy, and bring your favorite fall animal babies to life!
