Young Artist’s Club: Aboriginal Art

Young Artists and Writers Club, , , , , ,

Our Young Artist’s Club studied aboriginal art last month.  And what a sight to see their aboriginal masks!

Our young artist’s took cardboard boxes and paint, and engineered large, over-the-shoulder-style head masks.  They could choose to embody their spirit animal, a nature object, or someone they wished to honor.  Check them out!

We had a cat:

A dog (whose artist is inside, poking his fingers out of the eye holes to show you how he can see out):

And a squid, complete with fluttery, paper tentacles!

If you made a large-scale mask, what would you make?  I think something about weather would be really cool!

Young Artists Club: Andy Warhol

Our Young Artist’s Club studied Andy Warhol last month!  And, as befitting an artist with such varied work, our club members got to explore Pop Art in several different activities.

As one of the first activities of the day, our club members made Warhol Boxes.  Warhol built boxes to look like cartons of popular food items.  They were so realistic, he even got sued for the work!  Our club members created boxes of brands they enjoy or admire.

And for our themed snack we focused on re-imagining popular icons.  We transformed 2 vanilla wafers and a Girl Scout mint cookie into a mini burger, and added gel icing in various colors as lettuce, mustard, cheese, and ketchup.  Our club members loved it!
