in the library! Each participant will be given a piece of canvas with a
single brush stroke on it. Your task will be to complete the canvas
using whatever technique you like (draw, paint, collage, etc.) The
finished pieces will be reassembled to create a single work of art. No
previous art experience is necessary, and we'll supply the canvas,
paints, and brushes—you supply the creativity. Let's see what we can do
together. This program is part of UNC's Earth Reveries. Space is
