This week: Marsh & wetlands life

“Let’s Draw Marvelous May!”

Children will draw May flowers and May baskets, Mother’s Day cards, marsh life, Memorial Day themes, and migratory birds at this month’s children’s drawing classes led by Catinka Knoth at Rockland Public Library. May is also American Wetlands Month. Children will explore marsh and wetland habitats by drawing such animals as egrets, frogs, and beavers. International Migratory Birds Day, another May celebration, gives the opportunity to draw Spring warblers and other migratory birds. Knoth leads attendees in step-by-step drawing instruction for the day’s theme. Class also works with papercutting. She encourages adults to participate and discover that drawing is for everyone.

Wendy and Keith Wellin sponsor the workshops, which are free and open to the public, with all materials provided. The ongoing classes meet every Tuesday, 4-5 pm, Community Room, Rockland Public Library, 80 Union St., hosted by the Friends of Rockland Library. FMI – Jean Young, children’s librarian, 594-0310.
