Revolutionary Artists - Miniature Portraits with the Button Maker!

Program is for Grades 3-8 (Ages 8-14)
Step back into the time of the American Revolution and discover how portraits helped tell the stories of important people from early American history. In this hands-on art class, participants will explore famous Revolutionary-era figures, symbols, and styles while learning about life in colonial America. Participants will design and create their own portrait-inspired artwork, then transform their creations into wearable buttons using a button maker. Whether featuring historical heroes, self-portraits in colonial style, or imaginative Revolutionary characters, each student will leave with unique handmade buttons and a deeper connection to history through art.
Perfect for elementary and middle school students, this program combines creativity, history, and fun in an engaging workshop experience.
