Let's unplug and be creative together! Get outside and DRAW DRAW DRAW! We will find inspiration on the trails of Wissahickon park. In sessions one and two, we will take an easy rambling walk, beginning at the West Mt. Airy Avenue park entrance. We will sharpen our observational skills and learn specific drawing techniques that help us to identify and understand native rocks, plants, trees and waterways. For example, we will see a frog pond with lily pads! Take it all in! Look up! Look down! Ask questions and seek answers using sketching as your guide. In session three, we will meet at Andrew's Germantown studio and put our sketches to use - creating expressive paintings, collages and prints inspired by our walks. This class is for children ages 11 to 14 to enjoy with their parent or adult.

Notes:

Bring a water bottle, snack and camp chair/stool(optional, recommended). Class on May 18 will take place at Andrew Christman's art studio located at 20 E. Herman Street in Germantown.
Fee: $89.00
