Learn how to look closely at nature and draw your own tree trunk slice!

How do we know the age of a tree? By counting its rings, of course! Join experienced artist Christina Kortz at Main Branch 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.

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.
