Journey through a world of stories as we examine the art found in books. This six week series will feature a different book, where young artists will discover how authors use words to spark imagination while illustrators bring the pages to life. We will build connections through the art making process, strengthening our artistic vocabulary, creative thinking and observation skills.

For children ages 6 and older. Seats available first come, first served.
