Art Class: Doing it Mr. Rockwell's Way!

Saturday, January 9, 1pm-3pm. (Snow date: Sun, Jan. 10, 1pm-3pm.) Instructor: Cathy Herndon. Grades 3-8. Have you ever wanted to learn how to paint a picture that tells a story using your own life as inspiration? Norman Rockwell based many of his paintings from photos he took of models, family members and friends. He also photographed places and props to use in his paintings. In this class, students will learn to create a narrative composition from their own lives using personal photos of family members, friends, pets and more. Ms. Herndon will lead a tour and discussion of Norman Rockwell's paintings in the special exhibition, "Picturing Health: Norman Rockwell and the Art of Illustration." Students should bring at least 10 photos to use as a resource. To register, please call Education Coordinator Michelle Dolby at 540/654-1851.
