Classical music has inspired some of the world’s most famous masterpieces. Now, you yourself can be inspired in this workshop led by CFCArts Teaching Artist Simone Boos. Simone will guide you to create abstract art using watercolor paints while listening to classical music, letting the symphony of sounds influence your own masterpiece. Along the way, you’ll also learn basic watercolor techniques. Engage with the music and embrace the release of enjoying two art forms simultaneously while learning new ways to create and enjoy art.
This program is presented by CFC Arts and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
