Create vibrant works of art in this mixed-media workshop inspired by the rainbow! We will explore the magic of the visible spectrum to learn how our eyes see color. Then we’ll create an array of brightly colored artworks using traditional and nontraditional materials, including construction paper, wallpaper, and candy.
Make handfuls of lucky charms and personal pocket-sized sculptures in this workshop inspired by the little bitty objects found in our very own pockets! Whether kept for good luck or given away, these small pieces will be magnified in a surprising way at the end-of-the-week party.
