Water: It's all around us: streams, rivers, lakes, oceans, atmospheric effects, and more. It's a key ingredient in watercolor painting, regardless of the subject matter. But how does the artist create the illusion of water in a painting, regardless of the medium? This two-day workshop will present key tactics an artist can employ when painting bodies of water. Examine the nature of reflections, water movement, how water appears under various weather and lighting conditions, and more. Instruction includes demonstrations of how to incorporate various water effects in your own work and a review of the ways master artists historically have portrayed water in their paintings over the years. Open to all levels.

Join us for the newest production from Philly Sensory Theatre! Quack Quack Philly! A Sensory Musical&nbsp;follows Bell, a cheerful duck who lives along Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River with her family. 
Her peaceful life is turned upside down when a powerful storm causes the river to flood, sweeping Bell far from home. After the storm clears, Bell finds herself lost on the other side of the city and sets out on an exciting journey back to the Schuylkill. 
Along the way, she experiences different forms of transportation, including a SEPTA bus, the Broad Street Line, and even an unexpected airplane ride above the city. 
As she travels through Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, parks, and landmarks, Bell meets memorable friends, including a clever Philly Rat who knows the city’s shortcuts and a wise tortoise from the Philadelphia Zoo. Together they explore the sounds, textures, smells, and surprises of Philadelphia in a heartwarming sensory adventure filled with music, movement, imagination, and local pride. 
Each audience member receives a bag of objects that will be used throughout the performance to help bring Bell’s adventure to life and guide her safely home.

Family fun for 3 and up! The Origin of Anansi the Spider is inspired by an African fable from the Ashanti people of Ghana. Anansi had a dream to be the lord of all stories, so he went to the Sky-God Nyame and made his request. Nyame gave him the mission of bringing back a python, a leopard, and a swarm of hornets and promised that if Anansi did this, he would become lord of the stories. Anansi was a great trickster and was able to use his cunning wit to fool the animals into coming back to Nyame with him. Anansi succeeded and was named lord of all stories. This production is another in Curio's Make/Partake series where children will have hands-on experience in participating in the production by making props, creating sound effects and even controlling the weather.
