Flock of Birds Art with artist Rebecca Lefebvre
Wednesday, June 18, 2-3 p.m.
Ages: Kids entering 1st-5th grade
When starlings fly together they create beautiful patterns in the sky, like a giant dance. Each bird follows the others, showing how small actions can come together to create something amazing. Just like the starlings, people are stronger when they work as a team.
Each participant will paint their own paper mâché starling with their favorite colors, patterns, and designs. Paint, learn, and have fun creating a flock of birds!
Rebecca Lefebvre is the artist of the Murmurations art installed in the Library Lobby.
