On the first Thursdays of each
month, teens are invited to come
explore topics and resources for
aspiring visual artists from 5:30-
6:30 p.m. at Fortson Public Library.
Whether your interest is cartooning,
illustration, realism, or just chilling
out by creating, this monthly event
will be continuing through the sum-
mer. Each month, the focus is on
trading tips and exploring resources
on different drawing topics. June 1st
we will focus on “clear things” like
water, ice, and glass. July 6th the
topic is “light” where we will
explore everything from fireworks,
lasers, and glow bugs. Pencils and
paper will be provided.
