Description

Class Experience

Painted rocks have become almost commonplace in many counties in the United States as well as in other countries like England, etc.  The kindness rock movement was started by a young woman named Megan Murphy in 2015 as she left a painted rock with the message, "You've Got This" on a beach in Cape Cod.  A friend found it and left it for someone else to find.  The movement began because of the kindness and love that was shared toward a complete stranger.  Come join the kindness rock painting...

My local community began sharing kindness rocks and my daughter and I got the bug several months ago.  It is so relaxing and gratifying to paint a rock that you are going to give away.  It is almost like personal therapy time to just chat away or listen as you paint.  It is a wonderful activity that I'd like to share with many other young people in hopes that they can spread kindness through their creativity.

Rock painters will need:
* about 3-6 small smooth rocks weekly that they'd like to use as a canvas for a simple picture or message.  Spray both sides with the clear spray sealant and let dry overnight before the club meeting.
*basic art quality paint brushes found at craft stores.  The $1 brushes gotten at the dollar store don't work as well to create with.
*Acrylic craft paint in various colors (Apple Barrel is the cheapest and works very well.  It is .50 at my local Walmart)
*Paint pens (not needed but nice to have)
*Good quality clear sealant

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
