The Arts

Children and adults engaged in arts and crafts activities at a table filled with colorful paper, glue, markers, and scissors in a classroom or craft room setting.

The group includes men and women dressed casually, some wearing humorous accessories like a red hat with a cartoon character, overalls, glasses, and a hat. The background is decorated with purple walls and mounted animal heads, giving a rustic, humorous atmosphere.
