Art from the 80’s – 90’s are back! Do you like the effect from the Glow with Neon colors, and how much it can pop with a black light (UV-light)? Let’s have fun as we learn how to experiment with painting in neon colors, taught by Miss Rachel Simpson. You can choose your 2 pieces of art to be inspired by bioluminescent creatures, nature such as fungi in forests, marine-life in the deep ocean, or even planets and stars in outer space! All Art Supplies and UV-lights are provided such as neon paint, brushes, oil pastels, canvas, paper, pencils, pens, pallets, and more with your registration. Be sure to Dress for Mess! (Note: Bring inspirational photos, print-outs, or digital image of your theme of choice to inspire and share! This is a BYOB party for adults. Keep a look out for email reminders from Rachelsimpsonart @gmail .com and chaneecat @gmail . com for important info about this art class.)
