Large-Scale Painting for Kids

Date: Mon, Wed, Fri; June 26, 28, 30
Time: 1 – 3 pm
Registration Deadline: June 23
We will sketch, digitize our sketch, project onto a raw canvas, trace, and finally, PAINT! This process is the beginning stage of creating significant works of art, such as public murals.
Tala Kanani is a second-generation Iranian American teaching artist. She is an interdisciplinary painter and educator whose work is rooted in neighborhoods and cross-cultural communities. She is active in established and “under the radar” actions and art initiatives, working with Columbus outlets, including Cart Pushers, MINT, Second Sight, Ohio Art House, and a new studio project at Huckleberry House.
She believes all people should have access to the arts regardless of income or background. Introducing children and adults to the arts and empowering them with tools to find information encourages positive risk-taking, builds links to our histories and cultures, teaches visual literacy, and inspires curiosity, creativity, and life-long learning in our future generations.

COVID-RELATED UPDATES TO 2023 PROGRAMS AS OF 12/20/2022
To ensure the safety of our students and Staff, we have implemented new procedures for our 2022 programs to mitigate the spread of COVID and still allow participants to have a wonderful time creating art.
- Class sizes will be limited to 12 persons for indoor programs and 16 outdoor programs
- All students who have symptoms of respiratory or gastrointestinal infections, such as cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea, should stay home and not attend class.
- Students and Staff will wash and sanitize hands frequently throughout the day.
- Staff will sanitize common areas and touch surfaces regularly.
- We have optimized our indoor ventilation system to reduce the risk of germs and contaminants spreading through the air.
- If Leelanau County COVID-related cases are designated high risk, students and visitors must wear a face mask to prevent transmission.
To keep pace with the evolving conditions related to the pandemic, Staff will inform the GAAC’s new policies or procedures before the start of the course.
