Using a variety of materials, including moss, bark, stones, acrylic paint, and tiny plastic trees, teens created their very own enchanted forests within the confines of a shoebox. In these magical places rabbits and foxes and hedgehogs became friends and foraged together. So impressed with everyone’s creativity!
HAPL teens created their own dot art in the style of Australian Aboriginal artists.
Check out the fantastic alebrijes teens created this summer using air-dry modeling clay! Alebrijes are a form of Mexican folk art that depict dreamlike, fantastical creatures.
Teens created their own moon lights using LED touch lights, moon reference art, and acrylic paint at the library’s Art After Dark event.
A nice group of people attended the library’s holiday card-making event and designed dozens of cards for friends, family, and folks in assisted living residences. Happy holidays!
Teens attempted some beginner-friendly paint by number kits at our Art After Dark event this September. (If this is beginner, I’d hate to see advanced!) Enjoy our works in progress below!
Teens made the most amazing color-shifting potions using food coloring and mica powder in a water-rubbing alcohol solution, then decorated their bottles with various labels and sealing wax. These make great props for parties, or D&D, or cosplay! Lots of ideas and recipes and designs can be found here. Check out some of the potions we made!
