Program Description
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Is it really true that no two snowflakes are alike? Investigate the intricacies of the individual flake as you view and discuss how American artists have depicted the beauty and wonder of snow and ice in paintings and photographs from the Carter’s collection. Then create your own winter wonders as you learn how to cut complex six-pointed snowflakes. (Snowflake instructions and demonstration provided.)
