BIRDS OF A FEATHER MAKE ART TOGETHER
Ages 10-14
In this fun 5 week class we'll explore a little bit of nature in Laurelhurst Park while looking for and listening to Little Brown Birds. On our short walk together we will discover these delightful little creatures and observe them in their habitat while listening to their song. When we return to the studio we will work together to make our own little Brown Birds in three different ways-from clay, from tempera paint and from felt. We will make sun catchers for the window from our clay birds, natural beads, and other items found in nature. We’ll make paintings of birds using tempera paint on paper, and felt ornaments, using felt, buttons, and ribbon. Instructor: Kelle Standley
