Portland Parks & Recreation Family Classes Family classes are designed for parents, guardians and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, encouraging each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean–up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

When the paper is peeled back, the ‘positive’ image is revealed on the paper, with the ‘negative’ image on the plate, which is then printed on paper with a press.
