The start of new school year, means new art opportunities for little ones at Kentuck. This September we will be continuing our new Afterschool Art program for kids ages 5-10. Parents can leave your kids in the capable hands of our instructor to play, learn, and make art. Let the kiddos play at Kentuck for an hour and a half while you take care of you. Each session is $20, or sign up for the whole month for $75. This class will be held on Wednesday's from 3-4:30pm Session A: September 7 We will be learning about printmaking techniques such as monotypes and block prints. The kids will also make their own prints. Session B: September 14 We will learn about MC Escher, and we will make a tessellation. Session C: September 21 We will have fun going through magazines and making collages with different themes. Session D: September 28 This session we will talk about Kentuck's upcoming festival and Hallie O'Kelley. We will also design and make a screen-printed tote bag.
