New Canaan Library – Art Class for Incoming Grades 4-5: Van Gogh-Inspired Starry Night
Saturdays, July 11, 2026, 11:00am–12:00pm
Ready to get creative and recreate a famous masterpiece? Join a few NCHS art students for an engaging, hands-on art class! Using oil pastels, students will create their own Starry Night drawings inspired by Vincent van Gogh, focusing on line, movement, and color. Materials will be provided, and students are encouraged to wear clothing that may get messy.
This program is intended for students entering grades 4-5 in Fall 2026.
These classes are organized by Emily Meng, a rising high school sophomore and recipient of multiple Scholastic Art Awards, including the CAEA/Arnini Best in Drawing award, as well as additional honors in national and international competitions. Emily has a strong background in drawing, painting, crafting, and mural work, and she is passionate about sharing creative, hands-on experiences with young students.
