Add to Calendar 2025-01-13 18:00:00 2025-01-13 20:00:00 America/Chicago Let's Get Abstract Workshop Express yourself, get silly, and let your mind wander as you create something abstract in a no-pressure environment. Marion Public Library - MakerSpace

Express yourself, get silly, and let your mind wander as you create something abstract in a no-pressure environment.

Abstract art can be almost anything, and also doesn’t have to be anything in particular. Express yourself, get silly, and let your mind wander as you create something abstract in a no-pressure environment. We’ll start with some exercises to get the creative juices flowing. Then you will get some open-ended direction and time to create, maybe in a way that’s new to you, and with the help of some prompts that will help your imagination let loose.
