🌕🌌 Discover the Magic of Native American Winter Landscapes at Your Local Library! 🌌🌕

Step into the enchanting world of Native American folklore as we bring to life the mesmerizing poetry of Thirteen Moons on Turtles Back. Join us for an artistic journey that will awaken your senses and ignite your creativity!

🎨 Unleash your inner artist as we delve into the rich cultural tapestry of Native American traditions. Inspired by the vivid imagery of the poems we'll read, you'll create your very own winter wonderland, complete with a radiant full moon and twinkling stars.

🖌️ Here's what you can expect:
1️⃣ **Sketch the Magic:** Using heavy tag/poster board or thick drawing paper, we'll lightly pencil sketch the serene landscape that your imagination weaves.

2️⃣ **Crayon Magic:** Take your landscape to the next level as you color it with crayons, pressing down heavily to capture the essence of snow, the luminous moon, and the dazzling stars.

3️⃣ **Paint the Night:** With watercolors in hand, we'll bring the entire scene to life, using dark blue and black to make your colored objects pop against the night sky.

🏞️ Dive into the world of landscapes as we discuss the foreground, middle ground, background, perspective, horizon line, and other art-related vocabulary, guided by our expert instructors.

📜 No prior experience is required; all you need is an open heart and a curious mind. Whether you're an experienced artist or just looking for a fun and creative way to spend your day, this event is perfect for all ages.
