Art Explorers

This April, children can celebrate the birth of Leonardo da Vinci by making their own modern versions of his famous Mona Lisa painting at Art Explorers. Art Explorers is a monthly program for children ages 6 through 12 presented by the Nicholson Memorial Library System. This event takes place at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 7 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. Attendees at the April event will receive a copy of the original Mona Lisa painting for reference, as well as cutouts of the model’s face and arms. After gluing these pieces to a new sheet of paper, participants will draw the rest of the Mona Lisa and her surroundings in the style of their choice.

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, March 24. 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.
