Project Overview

Art Rocks! Online video 1: Learn about rocks and how they are formed. Then artist instructor Penelope Van Dyke will teach different techniques and styles to paint rocks. Turn your rock into a kindness rock, pet rock, or anything else you can imagine. Video 2: Use the canvas and painting supplies in your kit to follow along as Penelope guides you step by step as you paint a beautiful rainbow birch scene. 800 supply kits will be available at LARL locations throughout the region for pick up using curbside service and at summer food service sites for youth. This program was originally scheduled to be an in-person event but was reschedule to be a take home and view online program due to COVID-19.
