In this family workshop, inspired by the works of Paul Klee and M.C. Escher, we will create unique tessellation patterns while embracing the power of negative space and having fun with stencils and layering colors. Learning from the art of Klee and Escher, together we will explore how geometric shapes and negative space combine to create dynamic, contrasting, and balanced compositions, discovering how both solid and empty spaces work together to bring their captivating artwork to life.
