During 2010 » Every Friday from June 18th to August 6th the Farmers’ Market will host a Kids Art Fest where children of all ages can come and learn how to throw paint like Picasso. Athena Pribanic, a fine arts student at the Columbus College of Art and Design, will be instructing the event week to week. Painting instructions are provided from 3-6pm (kids can arrive at anytime to participate).

Each week kids will learn how to paint like the great artists of the past and present. They’ll be provided with non-toxic paints, a painter’s apron, practice paper, brushes, and a final prepared canvas where everyone will paint together in the style of that week. See the dates below to attend a session:

• June 18 – Paint like Jackson Pollack. “Throwing paint is art.”
• June 25 – Painting Cubism. “Cubes or Squares?”
  
• July 2 – Painting Surrealism. “Paint your dreams.”
  
• July 9 – Paint like Mondrian. “Red, Blue and Yellow take over.”
  
• July 16 – Painting Impressionism. “Mixing color with light.”
• July 23 – Painting Art Nouvea. “Swirls, swirls and more swirls.”
• July 30 – Printmaking with puzzles. “Make your mark.”
  
• August 6 – Kids Art Show.
  

At the end of the 8 weeks the Farmers’ Market will showcase all the kids paintings (August 6th). Afterward, the paintings will be rotated in local businesses to be sold as a fundraiser for the program and for the promotion of arts and cultural events in Erie County, OH.
