October 5 through October 27Unique Figures
Facilitated by Artist-in-Residence Araceli Holmes

10:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Create a one-of-a-kind figure by folding the paper and drawing in sections, without looking at the previous sections as more is added. Work collaboratively with others or individually to make a unique figure. The end result will be a fun picture with a surreal combination of images and styles!
