Puppetivity Palooza, Contour Drawing | Palisades Branch Library
Palisades Branch Library will host several upcoming events for the community, including Puppetivity Palooza on Thursday, June 16, beginning at 4 p.m. and Contour Drawing on Saturday, June 25, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
Puppetivity Palooza—for ages 5 to 11—is a “fun-filled puppet-making program designed to spark imagination and inspire children” through storytelling and puppet making. The program will be guided by Lisa Friedman-York.
“Working with recycled materials, children explore the artistry of building puppets,” according to information shared by the library. “From heroes to house pets to flying bugs, sea monsters and magical creatures who take us along on their enchanting adventures through storytelling and creative play.”
The Contour Drawing course, which will take place on the library’s patio, offers a “different method from ‘regular’ drawing.”
“It’s about the hand-eye partnerships: As your eye follows the curves, outlines and shapes, so does your hand,” according to information from the library. “It’s not precise and it’s not intimidating. Contour drawing is perfect for everyone who has ever said, ‘But I can’t draw a straight line.’”
The course is designed for teenagers and adults. Space is limited, so attendees are encouraged to RSVP by visiting the reference desk, emailing palsds@lapl.org or calling 310-459-2754.
