April Assembly
Eugene Clark

Art is Everywhere


An educational assembly program led by award winning illustrator / artist Eugene Clark. This 45-60 min. hands-on program expands the children’s knowledge of how important art and the role of the artist is within our lives and the world we live in! This program demonstrates that artists don’t just paint pictures, but are needed to design and create almost anything that we use in our every-day lives, like our toothbrush or the car we drive. Artists like Leonardo DaVinci are discussed, showing a correlation between art / science /and math. Eugene helps illustrate the important role of the artist while taking students on an artistic journey. Music is integrated throughout the show to paint a fun and upbeat atmosphere helping to keep all of the children’s attention. Eugene also shows illustrations from his new children’s book, “Red Riding Hood Races the Big Bad Wolf”, and talks about the career of being an artist / illustrator. Eugene The Amazing Clark, currently teaches drawing and painting at the College for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan. He is an award winning artist who just illustrated his first children’s book.
