Nature Art Classes as Joppa Flats: Fun in the Leaves

Kids will have fun expressing themselves using autumn leaves at Joppa Flats.

Have you ever wished you could draw like a real artist? Or did you ever wonder how artists make images of birds, animals, flowers, and imaginary creatures to look and feel so real? If so, then this is the class for you! We'll use collage and various materials to make seasonal representations of nature's beauty. Our art teacher inspires students to create "wow" works of art and helps them discover, in surprising and wonderful ways, all the things they don't know that they actually do know and can do.  This week we will have fun through art with Autumn leaves!

Instructor Janet Youkeles translates her passion for art into art education and has recently taught in the District of Columbia Public Schools. She is driven to help children create "wow" works of art and to help them discover, in surprising and wonderful ways, all the things they don't know they actually do know and can do.

  • Suitable for children ages 6-9 yrs
  • Registration is required.
  • Bring a smock or wear clothes that can get dirty
