Art 4 All: Mixed Media
Enjoy adaptive and process-based art making where the emphasis is on the joy of mixed media.
Kids are invited to scavenge materials from their art materials and craft supplies and mix them up. We will play with processes of layering images and incorporating painting, drawing, collage to express unique voices and visual language. Adaptive Activities allow for varied pacing and participation styles, prioritizing comfort, agency, and meaningful engagement.

When I'm not making art, find me listening to music on full blast in the kitchen, dancing and making food for my family:)
