SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Supercars
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been cancelled. Join us tonight for the Lego Cars workshop! \nInstructor: Morgan Parr\nDate/Time: Sunday\, April 19\, 10am-noon\nCost: $10 Child / $20 Del Ray Artisans member / $30 Non-member\, plus a $8 supply fee\nClass size: 3-15 participants\n(Register by April 15) \nWhether you think of hot rods\, muscle cars or sports cars\, there’s no denying that there were some stunning automobiles in our recent past. This workshop focuses on using contour lines to draw iconic cars of their choice from observation and then creating an arcade-like background to create a sense of space. \nParticipants will learn about lines so they can use contour lines to draw. They will learn about space using a one-point perspective to create the illusion of a 3D space on a 2D piece of paper. Contrast will also be discussed in order to use colors and patterns to make different parts of the artwork stand out. (Common Core Standards include: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.6.1\, CCSS.ELA.Literacy.W.6.7\, and CCSS.Math.Content.6.G.A.3) \nThis workshop is for youth ages 10+ and adults. Children must be accompanied by a co-participating adult guardian.\n \n\nSTEAM-tastic @ DRA – Come join us at Del Ray Artisans for interactive classes about Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Arts and Math (STEAM)\, taught by professionals from each field. The discount ticket price per child is made possible with support from the City of Alexandria through the FY2026 Annual Arts Program Grant.\n \n\nView information about the facility and policies at the bottom of the Youth and Family-Friendly Programs page.
