Cheryl Paton of Creative Brushstrokes, LLC attended an Art Festival in Morgantown

Today was the second time I participated in a local art festival for school kids. The kids were bussed in from various schools and got to go from station to station, of their choice, to participate in that art activity. Some were hands on, as in make a hat out of paper; others were sit down and enjoy some face painting on themselves.

The activities I presented were pointillism pictures, and watercolor pictures made with watercolor pencils.

Pointillism is painting with dots; we used markers for this.

The watercolor pencils are a fun, quick, and easy way to make a watercolor painting.  The kids got to draw with watercolor pencils and then brush on water.

Both activites can be done by the beginner, and are pretty quick to accomplish, making them great choices for an art festival for children.

All the kids seemed to enjoy being there. Music and food was also provided.
