Budding artists will celebrate creativity during this Fine Art learning series for kids. They'll learn several different painting techniques, explore works by famous artists and attempt to reproduce various artistic styles, do self-portraiture that expresses who they uniquely are, create their very own still lifes, and much more that will all become part of a mini art exhibition at the end of this art-filled series.
Karen will also share her industry experience and expertise on iconic production designs and sets such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Live Action), Harry Potter, and The Greatest Showman. Kids will get to hear how movie sets are built and learn where props come from.
