Quail Pastels Youth Art Class II
Saturday, January 25, 2025
2:00 – 4:30 PM
Open to students ages 7th – 12th grade
Here’s your chance to learn from one of Thomasville’s own expert artists! Students in 3rd – 12th grade are invited to join local artist and educator, Jessica Dell, at Pebble Hill Plantation’s Learning Center for an in-depth look on how to paint with pastels one of our region’s most renowned birds: the Northern Bobwhite Quail.
Each student will learn the natural history of this bird and what makes it special to Pebble Hill and our region. Jessica will then teach the technique of sketching the detailed characteristics of the bobwhite quail before finishing the piece with pastels.
After the completion of the classes, the students’ artwork will be on exhibit in the Pebble Hill Plantation Learning Center from January 28 – 31, 2025. On January 31, 2025, scanned images of all the youth art class paintings will be entered in the Georgia Youth Birding Competition T-shirt Art Contest sponsored by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources where prizes and awards are given to winners in four grade-level divisions. The grand prize artwork will be showcased on the 2025 Georgia Youth Birding Competition T-shirt presented in April. All Quail Pastels Youth Art Classes artwork will be returned to participants.
All materials and light snack included.
Registration is required by Monday, January 20, 2025. Space is limited.
