TEACHING ARTIST SESSION

Underwater Adventures (K-8)

Under the sea! This session is an artistic adventure on the ocean floor. Students will learn how to paint an eight legged octopus from a reference image, how to use contrast in their art for layering, and how to incorporate shapes and texture. This class includes a science component: there will be time to discuss some of the unique characteristics of this beloved sea creature.
