Discover the ease and joy of watercolor painting in this accessible series for beginners.

Green Eggs and Ham

Students will create illustrations for the presentation of Green Eggs and Ham for the Colorado College Summer Music Festival. Drawing skills are required and a love of making art. We will focus on creating the whimsical characters created by Dr. Seuss in his entertaining story. Sam-I-Am persistently tries to get an unnamed character to try green eggs and ham at different locations and with different dining companions. Finally, near the end, the character agrees to Sam-I-Am's promptings and pleasantly discovers the dish is pretty tasty. While the orchestra performs a musical composition, a narrator reads Green Eggs and Ham, the students' illustrations are shown on a screen for the audience to view. This is a unique opportunity for young creatives and their families to enjoy. Supplies will be provided. Ages 7-11
