Reflections Workshop
10/11/2024 7:38 pm
We’re thrilled to invite your young artists to our new 2024 Reflections Workshop—a two-part, hands-on art event designed to spark creativity! This year’s theme, “Accepting Imperfection,” is all about encouraging students to explore their artistic side in a fun, inspiring space. We’re also happy to announce an extended due date for Reflections entries, now due by November 4!
Workshop Palette:
• Dates: Monday, October 21 & Monday, October 28
• Time: 3:15 – 4:15 PM
• Location: 1st Grade POD
• Cost: Free for all participants!
What to Expect:
Students will meet in the POD at dismissal, and our chaperone will guide kindergarteners.
Students will start by brainstorming and sketching their ideas, followed by creating their masterpieces. In the second session, they’ll complete their artwork and craft an artist statement (a must for Reflections entries). All supplies will be provided—just send a snack and water bottle to fuel their creativity!
Pick-Up Your Young Artists:
Pick-up will be at the front doors of the school.
Sign-Up Details:
Space is limited to 25 budding artists, so reserve a spot here!
Questions?
Please reach out to Andrew Wilson or Cilicia Reavey.
We can’t wait to see your child’s imagination shine through their art!
