NEW BERLIN - The New Berlin Library held a children’s art program on Wednesday, January 22 in the library’s community room. This program was for children 12 and younger and participating children made Sunflower paintings.
Children and their families that attended the event created their very own works of art. Participants were given 8x10 canvas board, paint brushes, black acrylic paint markers, and their choice of acrylic paint colors. A lesson was taught explaining that art does not have to be perfect to be beautiful.
Participating children had the choice to follow the example painting or create their own work of art. The library always encourages participants in our art programs to make the work of art their own. The library also encourages parents to create a painting as well, stating that it is a great bonding experience.
“The New Berlin Library’s Assistant Director, Rick Fallis, came up with the idea to paint sunflowers. He said that we could all use a little sunshine during these cold winter days,” stated New Berlin Library Director Michelle Priola. “We all felt that was a great idea, so we went with it.”
A winter art program for adults and teens is scheduled for January 27 at 5 p.m. Participants will be taught to paint a field of brush-stroke sunflowers on an 8-inch by 10-inch stretched canvas. This painting will involve a basic outline sketch, block painting, and a series of small paint strokes in various colors. There will be easy to follow, step-by-step instructions. Registration is required.
The library holds art programs for adults and children seasonally and the next in this art program series will take place in the spring.

Elvis Tribute Artist, Aric McKown, will be performing a concert at 5 p.m. in the New Berlin Library Community Room. Snack and refreshments will be served and there will be a free, in-person raffle.
