Join Joan for an exciting new art workshop, perfect for children ages 5-8 who love to try new art forms! 

In this class, students will create their own unique collagraph print using cardboard, foamcore, colored papers and printmaking inks on printmaking paper. A collagraph print is similar to a collage, but involves 3-D materials and ink! Children will get to explore unfamiliar art mediums as they express their creativity with new friends. Additionally, basic art fundamentals such as shape, color, composition and scale will be highlighted.

All supplies and art smocks will be provided.
