Rockland - This month children will explore motifs from the traditional celebrations of December in the free drawing classes at Rockland Public Library led by Catinka Knoth.

Class often starts with a period of guessing and brainstorming ideas for the day's drawing. Knoth then leads children age 6 and up in "follow along" drawings. Knoth encourages adults to join in the drawing. Classes meet every Tuesday, 4-5pm, in the Community Room, Rockland Public Library, 80 Union St. Children 10 and under should be accompanied by an adult.
