Green Kids: Paint with Produce

In this eco art program, ages 5 to 8 will learn how to make pigmented paints with scraps of fruits and vegetables, such as cabbages, carrots, raspberries, and spinach. Participants will discover nature’s color wheel while painting in complimentary colors. This immersive learning experience, which combines self-expression and sustainability, is led by OMAM’s Curator of Youth Programs Diamond Johnson. Adults do not need to be present with children during this one-hour class, and all supplies are included with tuition ($12 for Museum members; $15 future members). Seats are limited, so advanced registration is encouraged! ABOUT THE SERIES Green Kids is a new series at OMAM that meets monthly in the spring and fall with a mission to fuse art, recycling, and nature. These young eco artists will learn about various topics, such as ocean pollution, biodegradable products, and the three R’s, before creating an artistic solution with recycled materials. We will partake in positive, collaborative conversations that explore how recycling, reusing, and reducing protects our environment and the planet.
