Make scratchboard art at Del Ray Artisans’ STEAM-tastic activity tent in the Kids Art Corner during Art on the Avenue! The Kids Art Corner is located outdoors in the Mount Vernon Recreation Center fields. Come by any time between 10am-3pm to enjoy this self-paced activity.
Kids will draw designs using the scratching tools on their own butterfly-shaped, Halloween-themed, or rectangular scratchboard. Older kids will learn about and utilize stippling, hatching, and cross-hatching techniques, as well as how to create implied texture through mark-making. Plus pick up the handout on making your own stratchboards at home too!
The hands-on activity is for kids of all ages while supplies last. Family members are welcome. Please contact the Youth Programs Director at [email protected] with any questions.
STEAM-tastic @ DRA – Come join us at Del Ray Artisans for interactive classes about Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM), taught by professionals from each field! Geared toward kids and teens, each lesson has a hands-on craft project. Del Ray Artisans’ Youth Art Programs are made possible through a generous donation from Genesis Inspiration Foundation.
