Valley center to stream live art lessons for kids at home

If you're looking for something fun to do with the kids at home, a North Valley arts center is streaming live art lessons.

Starting on Tuesday - ARTREE is launching a collaborative program walking students through some fun projects.

With kids ages six to twelve in mind, a local artist will take you step by step through a wide variety of techniques.

The first one will be a 3-D paper sculpture.

The classes will be Tuesdays and Thursdays each week from 10.30 a.m. until 11.30 a.m.

You can find the livestream here.

Here are the materials needed:

  • Construction paper - pre-cut into strips approximately 1" x 6". You will need about 20 strips for this session. A mix of different colored strips looks interesting, so this is a great project for using up assorted scrap pieces of construction paper (*older kids can create amazing sculptures) - have extra paper strips available!
  • A pencil
  • A small bottle of Elmer's glue
  • A piece of cardboard measuring about 4 x 5 inches (a piece of cereal box or tissue box works well)
  • A piece of paper towel or hand wipe to clean up glue from fingers
  • Optional: a pair of kid-friendly scissors
