Girl Scouts need an Artist!

by on 1/24/2012 10:26:18 PM2 Comments

A Girl Scout Troop leader in the Fall Creek area is looking to connect with an artist, or group of artists, interested in helping their Scouts earn a Painting Badge.

It is a five step process to earn the badge:

1. Talk to a painter or visit a museum

2. Paint a portait of family, friend or self

3. Paint by choosing what mood you are in

4. Paint using something other than a brush

5. Paint a mural that tells a story

If you have time to share or would like more information , please contact Jenny Grigg at 281-913-2231
