Arts for Older Adults: Mixed Media: Flora & Fauna

Using different papers, paint, markers and other media, you are invited to re-create a photographic scene that you bring from home, use provided images, or just let your imagination & the materials speak to you to create an original piece!

All supplies are provided, but feel free to bring your own sketchbook, images or materials, if you want!

Arts for Older Adults is designed for adults aged 60 and older. Funding is provided by Tennessee Arts Commission.
