Saturday Morning Studio

Saturday Morning Studio is TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD! Each month BREC Art will “travel” to different countries to experience history, art, (and snacks!) from different cultures. Join us each month for tips, treats, and creative expression as we pack our art bags and see the world! $12 per class EBR Parish residents $14.40 out-of-parish residents Sept. 10: Mona Lisa Cat - In this session, the very little-known French portrait of the Mona Lisa Cat will be recreated with chalk and oil pastels. This “visit” to France will introduce students to the mysterious Mona Lisa painting, a stop at the Eiffel Tower and Macarons. Nov. 12: Mother’s Helper - Students will travel to Mexico City, Mexico where they will meet Diego Rivera. Bright colors, Hispanic culture and nachos will all be part of the fun as we recreate his famous Mother’s Helper using mixed media. Dec. 3: Gingerbread House - The German tradition of building gingerbread houses is still part of holiday traditions worldwide. After learning the origin of the gingerbread house and seeing different houses from around the world, we will build our own edible Gingerbread masterpiece!
