Fridays: Art of Empowerment [Ages 8-10]

You have something great to share with the world! You are the inspiration and key focus of this class where we will have fun while exploring your unique qualities. In the first project, you will create a large-scale painting that symbolically shares more about you, including your Adinkra, a personal symbol inspired by West African culture, that you will design. In the second project you will create a community canvas and learn the meanings of colors. In the third project, you will work on a self-portrait, incorporating interesting materials such as glass mosaics. Let’s work together to get to know you and all the ways you can overcome any obstacle and contribute to a better world.
