Art full of emotion! Relax, unwind and enjoy yourself in this virtual drawing program. After looking at various abstract pieces of art, create your own work of art based on an emotion you choose. What colors represent that emotion? What types of line, shape, texture? Explore different mark making techniques that will make your abstract art come to life.

Appropriate for all skill levels from beginners to more advanced. Abstract art can be created in just black and white but creating in color is ideal. Required supplies are just pencil and paper. If you have additional supplies (color pencils, pastels, paint, canvas or thicker paper) you’re welcome to use them. Limited to 20 participants.
