BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents <i>Mud
Painting Watercolor Statues,</i> an environmental art class with Sally
Tucker-Levy <b>Thursday, August 18<sup>th</sup> & Friday August
19<sup>th</sup> 2016 10am-12pm.<br>
<br>
</b>This is a short, fun class on how to make sculptures out of ordinary
materials that most of us have at home. Participants will take a piece of
watercolor paper and scrunch it up in their hands then flatten out the
paper and use watercolors and mud paint made from diatomaceous earth,
which is the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called
diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica.
Over a long period of time, diatoms accumulated in the sediment of
rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. <br>
<br>
Students then use their own individual creativity to paint designs that
decorate their statues. After one coat only, the statues can be scrunched
again. A fun and creative art experience!<br>
<br>
This class is for adults and kids alike! Materials provided. <br>
<br>
Sally Tucker-Levy is a special education teacher by trade and has
been teaching environmental art classes for the past 8 years.<br>
<br>
<b>Free with Museum Admission<br>
