A short talk for children and their families by Michael about his painting “The Metamorphosis of Persephone” and the myth which inspired it, encouraging them to spot all the hidden elements in the picture which relate to Spring and Nature.
This will be followed by an opportunity for the children to draw their own pictures with paper and crayons provided.
The talk will take place in the Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope Art Gallery followed by drawing in the mezzanine area just outside the gallery and is part of the exhibition "Don't eat the Pomegranate?", a Free Painters and Sculptors members exhibition.
