Join us as we kick off the YAE after school art club! During this 4-week session students will explore their creative and artistic skills as they create colorful, fun garden critters designed to move, using pulls and straws that manipulate the critter. Each week students will focus on a specific garden friend: a ladybug, a frog, a butterfly, and a caterpillar. Young students will develop dexterity skills as they cut, color, paint, draw and trace, as well as learn how to create art with levers and pulls that create movement. Students will also learn a little about how important these garden friends are in our ecosystem and get inspired by other artists who create fun art while exploring their own unique artist’s vision.
All materials are supplied. Space is limited to six so please sign up early at Salmon River Fine Arts Center Square Site.
*Option for after school bus drop off from Pulaski. (School will need a note from parents for each day.) A snack will be provided.

Join us as we kick off the YAE after school art club! During this 4-week session we will create clay wind chimes. Students will explore different handbuilding techniques to create their own unique textured wind chimes. Instructions will be provided on how to create “koi fish” wind chimes made from hand-built clay pots, made to fit into each other successively, and a clay tail to form a fish or other desired shape. The first two classes will focus on designing and creating the clay pots. The pieces will then be bisque fired and ready to paint or glaze in the third class. After a final firing, the last class will focus on assembling the wind chimes, embellishing them with string, beads and or feathers.
All materials are supplied. Space is limited to six so please sign up early at Salmon River Fine Arts Center Square Site.
