Your eager young artist is guaranteed to have a lot of fun and will leave with several completed projects, and more than likley colorful, dirty hands! These projects are designed for children ages 4-8, but older brothers and sisters might enjoy them as well and would be welcome to come participate too.

Biblical Painting Workshop
This unique three hour workshop will allow participants to learn fundamental techniques for working with acrylic paint as they are guided through painting a landscape inspired by Psalm 113:3. In order to better focus on teaching specific painting processes, everyone will be painting the same basic composition. There will, however, be numerous opportunities for each person to creatively individualize their painting and thus create an original work. By concentrating on teaching techniques, it is hoped that people will feel equipped enough to continue exploring acrylic painting on their own. It is also a goal of this workshop that everyone would feel confident enough with their final artwork to want to display it in their home or workplace. Because these paintings are inspired by scripture, when others inquire about them it creates opportunities to share the faith and truth of the Bible. The cost of the workshop is $60 and covers professional instruction, use of studio space, and the use of all painting supplies and materials. Participants should leave with a finished, or nearly finished painting. This workshop would be appropriate for ages teen through adult. No previous painting experience is required! Those interested in attending can reserve a spot by filling out the sign up form Saturday, November 23rd | 6:00-9:00pm Sign up Now! |
