February 13 & 20 – Wendy’s Celebration of Youth Art Month Project Workshops –  Our theme will be Woodland Creature paper collages  in earthy palettes, natural textures, tree imagery, mushrooms, and other features reminiscent of a forest environment. These will be double sided to hang in the windows at Wendy’s to be enjoyed inside and outside.  Students will need to be able to attend both sessions to finish their projects.  Start planning if you will have a deer, rabbit, racoon, bear, hedgehog, squirrel, owl, fox or another woodland creature. These art pieces will be on exhibit at Wendy’s Restaurant of Owosso in the month of March, and perhaps April too.
