Every mark tells a story, from the gentle swipe of a pencil to the bold stroke of the brush. Explore the possibilities of what a simple line can be and expand your artistic style while using a variety of creative tools beyond just the classic brush and marker. Learn unique processes, including printmaking, throughout this week of fun.

At the end of the week, just before pick-up, we'll put on an art show displaying all of our hard work over the week for family and friends.
