Art Explorers

Children can celebrate Native American Heritage Month by creating Tlingit art at Art Explorers, a monthly program for children ages 6 through 12 presented by the Nicholson Memorial Library System. The event takes place at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Walnut Creek Branch Library.

Children attending Art Explorers learn about different types of art, then use their new skills to create their own masterpieces. At the November event, attendees will select an animal template, then trace their chosen animal onto several different colored pieces of construction paper. Next, participants will cut out their animal’s shape, stack the shapes together, and cut them into pieces. Finally, the children will use the different colored pieces to reassemble their animals on a new sheet of paper.

Registration is required to attend each Art Explorer program and is limited to 24 participants. Registration may be completed by phone or in person at the Walnut Creek Branch Library beginning Saturday, Oct. 21. The Walnut Creek Branch Library is located at 3319 Edgewood Drive, in Garland. All supplies are provided by the library. Please be aware that photographs and video may be taken at Library programs for use in print and/or electronic media at the Library’s discretion.
