SFA offers children’s optical illusion art workshop
 Optical illusions will be the focus of a children’s art workshop to be offered by the School of Art from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, at The Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House.
Participants in the class, which is open to first through eighth graders, will view “Rufus Butler Seder: LIFETILES,” learning about Seder’s optical glass-tiled murals popularly known as “movies for walls.”
The students will then create their own optical illusions and artwork inspired by the exhibition, explained Dawn Stienecker, SFA lecturer of art education. She and SFA art education majors will teach the workshop.
Registration for each class is $5 and covers the cost of the materials and refreshments. Parents may pre-register by e-mailing Stienecker at stieneckdg@sfasu.edu and providing the child’s name and age.
The Cole Art Center is located at 329 E. Main St.

- Glistening patio furniture: Apply a light coat of car wax before setting out your plastic or metal chairs for another season. The same slick stuff that keeps bugs from sticking to your hood will make furniture a breeze to clean and protect it from fading in the sun.
