CUREative Art for Teens: Light from Darkness

Monday, March 22, 2021 @ 7 pm CST via Zoom

Description:

Join other Gilda's Club teens to reflect on something positive that has come from a negative experience you've had. Was there something you learned or took away from this experience? Together we will discuss light and dark and the balance that comes with it. Begin an artwork that represents this balance. Learn how to make a mandala with drawing materials that brightly pop on a black background to represent light that can come from the darkness.

What You'll Need:

Any or all of the following:

• Black or dark paper and any of the following:
• Metallic sharpies or paint markers
• Oil pastels
• Chalk pastels
• 3-D paint
