Topic: Kids Art Class
Learn to draw cherry blossom trees, baby birds, spring peepers, baby animals! April kids' drawing classes at the Public Library, Rockland, Maine. The National Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival inspires an exploration of cultural traditions of flying-fish kites, origami, lanterns, umbrellas, and woodblock scenes. Birds arrive with their songs of mating and nestbuilding, putting a spring in people's steps. Baby animals such as lambs, calves, colts, fawns, and kids kick up their heels to play in the fields. Choruses of spring peepers signal the land's awakening. Celebrate spring by drawing!
It is also National Poetry Month. Rockland Library has planned a series of poetry events. We'll do some poetry appreciation in the drawing classes too . In Kentucky they're celebrating John James Audobon's bicentennial. At the Globe Theatre in England they honor William Shakespeare's 446th birthday on April 23rd and St. George's Day around April 18th.
Classes are free with all materials supplied, sponsored by Wendy and Keith Wellin. Every Tuesday, 4-5pm downstairs in the Community Room, 80 Union Street.
