Third Annual MECAC "A Taste of Art" Summer Program






The Third Annual MECAC Summer Program "A Taste of Art" was a full-on success! Thirty children from ages 6 to 17 enjoyed "tasting" different kinds of artistic expression. Whether the younger kids (ages 6-11) were building, painting, and racing sailboats OR carving and painting plaster OR dribbling paint onto canvases in a tribute to Jackson Pollock OR painting on gessoed Masonite OR creating abstract mobiles, they had a wonderful time.

The older kids (ages 12-17) worked on a mural of Pine Valley, painting smaller canvases that will be assembled into a large piece for the Pine Valley Clubhouse. Arranged and organized by Dianne Holly, the kids painted their assigned canvases according to smaller color-coded cards that will allow the larger mural to be coherent.

Our gratitude is extended to Myrna, Mary, Marshall, Dianne, and all of the amazing and wonderful helpers who pitched in to make MECAC's Third Annual "A Taste of Art" a fun and educational experience for our young people!
