The Grand Avenue Middle School Art Club attended a painting workshop at ArtSea Studio in Babylon where former Bellmore-Merrick CHSD art teacher, Barbara Hirten, is an artist in residence.
The students learned how to manipulate the paint to create images of a field of flowers. After some instruction in the handling of the new media, each student artist was encouraged to begin to develop their own techniques resulting in every student expressing their individuality.
"I love to see the kid's skills and creativity 'blossom' as they are painting their flowers," said Hirten of the workshop.
Nicholas Giordano, Art Club advisor, added "the Art Club members are such a great group of students.”
“They learned the basic skills they will need to paint, and I am sure many will use these skills in their high school classes and the future,” he added.
