DOUBLE TAKE (Tuesday, August 8th at 2 pm)
Look again! Learn how modern artists Dali, Picasso, and others create ambiguous images that play with our perception and can be seen in multiple ways. Then create a Surrealist collage filled with “double images.” Supplies; magazines, scissors, glue, surface for your artwork. Or, draw.


IT’S AN ILLUSION (Tuesday, August 15th at 2 pm)
How do artists create optical illusions in painting? Discover how painters create effects of depth, volume,  and three dimensions that “trick” the eye on a  two dimensional surface Then inspired by op-art, draw your own optical illusion.  Have drawing supplies on hand such as pencil or markers.
