Nature Inspired Stencils

Have you visited the outdoor A Garden on the North side of the Museum? It is  an eco-art installation designed by UNM Art & Ecology students and faculty who are part of the collective called Creating Change. In this FAW we will mix our own mud paints and make nature inspired stencils to use in making beautiful works of art inspired by the mural in A Garden.

Instructor: Shelly Korte
