A young person with short, curly blonde and brown hair, wearing glasses and a navy and red jacket, is seated at a table engaged in an art activity. They are using colorful markers to draw on a wooden panel with intricate designs and bold text. The table is covered with a black cloth and has various art supplies scattered around, including markers, a bottle of orange-flavored drink, a small carton of juice, a blue snack wrapper, and a smartphone. In the background, other participants, including a child and two adults, are also engaged in art-making at a separate table. A screen is visible on the wall behind them, indicating an indoor workshop setting.
