Drawing Together: Fall 2012

This past Saturday, K.I.D.S. Art Education collaborated with Open House New York and the P.S. 15 Fall Flea to offer TWO very special "Drawing Together" programs!

In the morning, Meghan Keane led kids and adults on a journey down Van Brunt Street to discover architectural elements, landscapes, and other neighborhood sights. With Meghan's help, everyone made their own sketchbooks and filled the pages with their observations. Some had themes in mind, some just drew whatever caught their eye! This video showcases their drawings as well as their amazing book-making skills:




Later in the afternoon, we moved over to the P.S. 15 Fall Flea and set up a "design your own city" workshop complete with markers, tape, stickers, paper clips and other 3D materials. Several families dropped in to create imaginary streets, skylines and parks. Have a look at what they came up with:





This fall we are holding "Drawing Together" workshops on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Our workshops are geared towards children ages 4 and up and their caregivers. If you'd like to join us or want any more information, feel free to leave a post or contact me at sallie@kentlergallery.org. Thanks for reading and be sure to look out for more posts as fall K.I.D.S. Art Ed. 2012 continues!
