Abrakadoodle Art Classes |
|
We'll travel the world to find interesting, creative
art forms. Our view of the world takes us to ancient
Egypt to create an Egyptian mummy and to France to study
the artistic style of Pierre Bonnard who creates a warm
and tranquil view of the countryside looking out windows.
Then we are off to the high seas to create waves and
ocean waters in the style of Winslow Homer. Also featured
is Abrakadoodle's Artist in Residence and Artist of
Distinction, Leonor Brazão. We learn about this Portuguese
artist's musical inspiration for her abstract art. We
have some whimsical fun hearing a poem about a woman
who swallowed a fly as we create flies and other 3-D
art forms. A parent/caregiver is asked to participate
with Twoosy Doodlers. Parent/caregiver participation
with Mini Doodlers is optional. Eight classes. Fee includes
tuition and all materials.

GET INVOLVED
Much of the vitality of life in Carrboro is due to the
active involvement of citizens in the community. Volunteers
of all ages regularly
share their talents, skills, and ideas by planning or
assisting with large events, serving on town advisory
boards, or coaching a youth sports team. While some
activities require the contribution of many hours others
call for only a few hours of time. Not only can you
share your talents, you can have fun, make new friends
and discover more about your town.
