Art and Architecture Children’s Workshop
The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society will hold the third in a series of workshops for children. The workshop is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is strongly requested.
The costs of the workshop are underwritten by a grant from the Free and Accepted Masons.
The workshop will be a study of architecture and art. A short lecture on the history of the diverse architecture that exists throughout the county will begin the session. This will be followed by a photographic look at some of the great architecture within Millionaires’ Row. An artistic endeavor will then be led by Rita Bower and Steve Bower. Utilizing cardboard, black paint and sketches, the child will construct a 3-D ‘line drawing’ of the building. A snack is offered during the afternoon.
