Senior Social Hour: Dot Painting

Friday, May 1, 2026 at 10:00am - 11:00am

Dot art is a style of painting created by dotting paint, rather than using brush strokes. We will primarily be using fine-tipped bottles, which will create an optical illusion, as the image will appear to jump off the canvas.
