Art Play for Adults 
Why should kids be the only ones allowed to play? Come out and make art in a fun and supportive, "no stress to achieve" environment. Try out different materials (all provided for you) and take part in mixed media projects that help you explore your creativity and get in touch with your sense of play. No previous experience with art is needed.

The instructor, Mira Fink is a certified and seasoned art teacher. She was inspired to facilitate Art Play for Adults to simulate all the fun the children were having making mixed media projects with her at Mill Street Loft's Dutchess Arts Camp over the last 5 years. Mira has also taught painting workshops and classes for adults at SUNY Ulster, The Esopus Library and at The Wallkill River School of Art.

"Things that Fly" Batiks by Dutchess Arts Camp Kids

I just completed 5 weeks of teaching art to children at Dutchess Arts Camps.  I thought some folks might appreciate seeing some of the children's art.  Here are some samples from last week's project - "Things that Fly" Batiks.  These batiks were made from all non-toxic materials, glue instead of wax and acrylic paint instead of dye on cloth to go with the week's theme which was "Up, Up and Away".

The next thing on my agenda is a series of Watercolor Landscape Workshops for adults at the Wallkill River School in Montgomery, NY.  The first one is coming up on Saturday, August 20th from 9am-3pm.  Come out and paint!  See details at my website http://www.mirafink.com under the events page or at the Wallkill River School's site www.WallkillRiverSchool.com
