Program Description
Event Details
Ready to get creative and make something amazing? Join a few NCHS art students for an engaging, hands-on art class! Students in grades 1-2 will create their own galaxies with colorful chalk pastels while exploring space science. We will experiment with colors, blending, and fun techniques. Materials will be provided, and students can take their galaxies home to display!
These classes are organized by Emily Meng, a high school freshman and recipient of multiple Scholastic Art Awards, including the CAEA/Arnini Best in Drawing award, as well as additional honors in national and international competitions. Emily has a strong background in drawing, painting, crafting, and mural work, and she is passionate about sharing creative, hands-on experiences with young students.
