“Creating Playful Art Cards”
with Sandy Fritz, FUN Art Artist
Ever wonder how to make FUN whimsical artwork? You will do some prompts that will get your creative juices flowing. Then you'll learn some mark-making techniques to tie it all together. Sandy will guide you through her art process and you will have several small artful pieces on paper that will be made into notecards. All supplies are included! Great for any artistic level, and absolutely no experience is required. Kids 12 and up are welcome. “You ARE creative-you just don't know it yet.”
Our leader into the exciting world of “Creating Playful Art Cards” is popular Loveland mixed media/collage artist, Sandy Fritz, currently RV’ing around the country with her husband. Fortunately, she stops in Estes Park each summer to visit her dad, the Art Center’s own Bill Fritz, and enjoys teaching at the Art Center. “My art expresses how I view the world; full of life, color and emotion,” says Sandy. ​All class supplies included.
