We'll begin by looking an etching called Standing Horse by Gwendolyn C. Knight and observing her horse's shape and texture. Next, we'll practice layering various colors of oil pastels on our paper.

We'll think about our favorite animal and use stencils and stylus tools to scratch the shape and texture of those animals. We'll conclude by singing songs and reading One day in the eucalyptus, eucalyptus tree by Daniel Bernstrom. Join us for a joyful session of art, music, reading and play!
