For Black History Month we focus on artist Alma Woodsey Thomas and I got to make use of leftover canvases I've been meaning to repurpose!
Supplies:
- Canvas
- Paint pots with acrylic paint (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
- A flat-ended paint brush
- Instructions/Info
I started by creating a handout with a short biography of Alma as well as a few examples of her work and brief instructions for how to mimic her signature style. I got the idea for this kit from an old Teen Services Underground post.
The rest of the prep included filling the paint pots (pre-filled pots exist but I couldn't find exactly what I was after), portioning out the canvases and brushes (one per kit), and creating an instructional video of me painting an example.
Amount of Kits: 30
Sign ups: 30 (Filled up before program date)
Cost: ~$70
