Headwaters Music & Arts is excited to announce the first in their Unified Arts workshops with a finger painting course. The morning workshop for folks of all abilities will be led by local artist and teacher, Alice Blessing, 9:30-12:00 Monday, June 8. The class will cover the basics of color mixing and finger-paint application, including adaptations for people with cognitive and physical disabilities. With a goal to try finger-painting, meet new people, and have fun, students will focus on painting a bird in this hands-on painting class.
Alice is known for her finger-painted portraits of people and animals. She has taught Painting, Drawing, and Color Theory classes at Bemidji State University. Over the past year, she has been working on her newest series of portraits about marginalized young girls in northern Minnesota, a series made possible by a grant from Region 2 Arts Council, with funding from the McKnight Foundation.
The workshop is for adults of all abilities and accommodations will be made for differing abilities. There are limited spots available so folks are asked to register by May 29. The cost to attend is $10/participant with scholarships available. Folks can register by calling 218.444.5606 or online at Headwaters website {headwatersmusicandarts.org}
