Painting the Garden with Collage (Ages 9-14)
June 30 @ 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
Monday-Wednesday, June 30-July 2, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
In this lively workshop, we’ll play with color and patterns to represent symbiosis in the natural world. Students will tell a visual story of the interrelationships between plants, animals, and their environment through the layering of materials, both handmade and found, combined with paint and pastels. Students will learn how to create botanical prints, an accordion book, and will be encouraged to make daily observations of the Gardens in a sketchbook.
Scholarships are available for families with a financial need. To request an application, please email Erika Huber at ehuber@mainegardens.org.
