Discover the world of shapes in art! In this engaging program, children will explore different types of shapes - like squares, triangles, circles - by creating their very own shape-inspired zine.


In this fun and creative program, children will dive into the fascinating world of shapes in art and discover how simple forms like circles, squares, and triangles can be transformed into dynamic works of art. They’ll explore different types of shapes—from bold geometric forms to free-flowing organic ones—and learn how artists use shapes to create balance, rhythm, and storytelling in their work. 
But that’s not all—kids will also learn about zines, a unique form of self-published mini-magazines often used by artists and writers to share their work. They'll get the chance to create their very own shape-themed zine, experimenting with a variety of artistic techniques and styles. By the end of the session, each child will walk away with a handmade zine showcasing their shape-inspired creations, ready to share their artistic vision with the world!

About the branch

The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library & Learning Center includes a computer lab with fourteen computers, teaching kitchen, large activity area, individual and group study rooms, theater, and community room in addition to a collection of more than 21,000 books, DVDs, and CDs.

In the 165-seat theater, children can experience all aspects of theater, including designing and building sets, writing plays, acting, and costume design. The state-of-the-art sound system, lighting, and projection screens is also be used for movies, concerts, and lectures.

The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
