Cherry Blossom Drawing For Kids

An official National Cherry Blossom Festival participant, the Corcoran’s Saturday afternoon workshops will take place on March 29, April 5 and April 12 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, East Potomac Park.

Designed for ages 8–16, Drawing from Cherry Blossoms will introduce students to botanical art. Using pencils, ink, charcoal, and oil pastels, students will improve their drawing skills as they create studies and finished drawings of the Yoshino cherry trees and their blossoms.

“We have added a third workshop this year, so we will be out at the Jefferson Memorial every weekend during the Festival,” said Richard Selden, Director of Continuing Education. Under its Continuing Education banner, the Corcoran offers a variety of studio art classes for all ages, including the popular Camp Creativity summer sessions at its Georgetown Campus. -- www.corcoran.org
