Portland Parks & Recreation Family Classes Family classes are designed for parents, guardians and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, encouraging each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean–up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

NEW! Watercolor with Natural Pigments Workshop Ages 13 & Up Experience how watercolor artists of the past painted. Before paints were manufactured and supplied in the tubes we easily purchase and use today, artists had to mix all of their own paints. Powdered pigments that came from natural sources like colored soils were ground and mixed with binders like gum Arabic and honey to create the pigment paste for painting. Work with natural pigments brought from the Provence Village of Roussillon in France, the location of an Ochre quarry. Mix up to 17 shades of ochre, soft shades of green, reds, yellows and oranges that merge beautifully together. Includes exercises in mixing, developing your own painting, and a critique. Price includes a $20 materials fee (for the pigments and mixing trays) which is non-refundable after class begins. Get materials list online.

Inclusion Services for People with Special Needs Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP & R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/ special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works 1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.
