Can you count the rings of a tree to learn about its age?

How do we know the age of a tree? By counting its rings, of course! Join experienced artist Christina Kortz at Southside Library to create your own tree slice! By drawing circles within circles, kids and families can learn about how to count the rings of a tree while also flexing their creative muscles.

Christina Kortz has been with the O’Keeffe Museum since the year 2000. She began as an Education Coordinator and Family Programs Manager and now works as a Museum Educator and Gallery Guide. Christina is an experienced arts educator, illustrator, fashion stylist, and dancer.

Upcoming Events

Large pinkish/orange shell that dominates most of the canvas, with a much smaller shell beside it on the lower left. Both are oval in shape and open to their undersides, exposing the dark glossy pink of the inside of a shell. They are nestled on a white cloth or tissue paper that has folds suggesting a depth, as if the objects are in a box. The larger shell is chipped on it's upper left tip.

Abstract watercolor of a small adobe building which was used as a studio. The picture plane is divided into three separate organic shaped geometric elements; a fluid swash of green ground on which the adobe structure sits and a large transparent wash of blue surrounding the building as the sky. The studio itself is softened rectangle shape of transparent yellow which reveals, to the left, a brown feathered watercolor bleed as the doorway.
