This class of artistic and spooky fun is for children who love nature and Halloween.

Teacher and artist Pat Moore will help young artists capture the after-dark lives of owls and bats. Students will draft from nature, studying real taxidermy specimens, to create their own high-relief scratchpaper scenes.

Scratchpaper is made from paper covered with a thin layer of clay or chalk underneath a hard outer black coating. To create their owl or bat nightscapes, students will use special child-safe tools to chip away the black surface and expose striking lines of white and silver.

Charcoal and other drawing supplies will also be available for creating different nighttime scenes.
