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 will create dot paintings inspired by renowned artist Yayoi Kusama, exploring her style through color, patterns, and bold design. Materials will be provided, and students are encouraged to wear clothing that may get messy.

This program is intended for students entering grades 2-3 in Fall 2026. 

These classes are organized by Emily Meng, a rising high school sophomore 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.
