Wednesday, September 8 - Art Sampler: Collage
In this course we will explore four basic areas of art to give students a creative foundation to apply to their own art making. Each week we will focus on a different area, including color, line, shapes and texture. Every session will begin with a discussion of the principle, and we will study examples of how other artists use each in their own work. We will then learn techniques related to these basic principles and create a project based on that theme, such as abstract watercolor painting, map making, portrait drawing and collage.

So, if your kids balk at the thought of an afternoon hike, this is the perfect way to entice them. Go online to www.geocaching.com and enter your zip code. The site will list all the "caching" locations in your area. Take ...
