Join us for a free art activity lead by Laura Link, materials, instructions and guidance will be provided for each month’s activity.
This month we will be creating contour portraits. A portrait is a picture of a person. We are going to use wire to create a portrait of a persons face using only contour lines. The purpose of contour lines is to show the nature of a subject rather than details. Artist Agnes Grochulska uses contour lines in her portraits to encourage viewers to fill in the blanks with their imaginations.
Children MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the Free Family Art session.
This is a FREE public program. Please RSVP using form below OR send us an email.
