Field Trip to Outer Space

Today's the day that Sky Dome rolls into town for our big virtual field trip of the universe.  Join us at St Joe's School Gym where shows will begin promptly at noon, 1, 2, 4, and 5 p.m.  Each show lasts about 45 minutes and will be of interest to those in kindergarten up through adults.  Entrance will be on a first come basis and be prepared to sit on the floor inside the large dome. 

For safety reasons no entrance to the dome will be allowed once the show has begun. Plan on arriving at least 10 - 15 minutes before the scheduled show time.  Use door "D" when entering the school building. 

Drawing 101

We've just signed on local artist Mike Leuszler for a new series of drawing workshops we're calling Drawing 101.  This four part series is perfect for anyone who enjoys drawing or would like to learn some basic techniques to become better with the pencil and sketch pad. 


The first class will go over some basics and then we'll go on to do some specialty classes.  Come to one class or come to them all.  "A lot of times a parent or grandparent will bring the student and we find that they are as interested in the classes as the kids," said Leuszler.  "This time we'd like to have everyone join us and enjoy the classes together with a friend or family member.  Art is not limited to a certain age."


We're opening this to all ages so make it a family event and join us at the library.  Classes begin at 1 p.m. and the schedule is as follows:


Tuesday, July 31           Basic Drawing Techniques

Thursday, August 2       Land of Oz Characters (Here's where you can get creative!)

Tuesday, August 7        Faces (Let's face it...we all have trouble drawing eyes, noses, and mouths)

Thursday, August 9      Fantasy Characters  - if you can dream it, you can draw it.  Fairies, and zombies, and giants...Oh my!
