Kids’ creativity workshop Thursday, August 9
On Thursday, August 9 from 1:00 to 3:15 at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown, kids aged 7 to 14 will enjoy two creative topics, “Creative Airplane” and Jim Dine Hearts” with a healthy snack in between. The cost is $18 per child or $16 if more than one child is registered together. Registrations must be received by Sunday, August 5. Call 509-229-3414 or register online using the link at the top of the calendar page at www.artisanbarn.org.
CREATIVE AIRPLANE with artist Bobbi Kelly: Kids will first fold a paper airplane (that's the easy part), then using markers, ink, colored pencil and/or crayons, they will draw an original design ON all sides of the plane. Designs might be something realistic, such as sky and clouds, lightning bolts, hearts and flowers, birds or animals, people or superheroes. Or they might be abstract swirls and patterns, or geometric designs--whatever the young artists can imagine. The last step will be to take the airplanes outside and see how well they fly!
Bobbi retired as a high school art instructor and now offers workshops for both children and adults. She also concentrates on her own watercolor painting and is an active member of the Palouse Watercolor Socius and the Idaho Watercolor Society, participating in art exhibits and festivals throughout the Northwest.
JIM DINE HEARTS with art educator Tiffany Gerl: During this session the kids will be introduced to the American Pop artist Jim Dine, who created the abstract blue heart sculpture on the WSU campus. They will then create an abstract pop art heart with oil pastels.
Tiffany is currently the elementary art teacher for the Pullman school district, and finds much joy in bringing art into each student’s life. She is originally from Spokane and grew up with parents that owned a stained glass shop. Tiffany enjoys creating mosaic art pieces, photography and finds inspiration in the colors and beauty of nature.
