Celebrate Poetry Month with Art Impact Project!  Combining visual art with the written word can help us to look at art in a new way, and connect more deeply with both art forms.  We use oil pastels and watercolor, as well as collage, to create a poem and image inspired by the iconic symbol of nature, the tree.

Art Impact Project uses this basic drawing technique to demonstrate how you can use this process to relax and let your creativity flow.  Using simple art supplies and water, you’ll be given a prompt to create fun and colorful art.  You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy this unique wellness project.  All supplies provided. This event is for adults, but children 6th grade and up are welcome!
