‘Art for Kids’ goes spooky

CAZENOVIA, N.Y. >> Children ages 8-14 are invited to join Pat Hill and Jenna Wright Martin at the Cazenovia Public Library for a Halloween-inspired Art for Kids on Friday, Oct. 19 at 1:30 p/m/ in the Community Room. Discussion and activities will focus on “The Scream” by Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch.

“The Scream” is the popular name given to multiple versions of a composition created between 1893 and 1910. The iconic works depict a spooky hairless figure under a yellow-orange sky. The artist created four versions in paint and pastels. Though famous for this single image, Munch was one of the most prolific, innovative, and influential figures in modern art.

During the October Art for Kids, participants will learn about Edvard Munch and study “The Scream” before creating their own emotion-evoking artwork. All materials will be provided. Class size is limited to ensure program quality. Call or stop by the library to reserve a spot.

Participants will qualify for the chance to win an art kit containing 178 pieces, including colored markers, crayons, colored pencils, watercolor cakes, oil pastels, acrylic paint tubes, and more.

All events at the Cazenovia Public Library are free and open to the public. For more information, call 315-655-9322 or visit www.cazenoviapubliclibrary.org.
