Our Young Artist’s Club learned about the work of Milton Glaser recently.  Milton Glaser, the American graphic artist best known for designing the “I <3 NY” logo, really inspired our members with his bold combinations of image and text.

To explore this combination themselves they designed t-shirts.  They drew their designs on paper, cut them out, laid them out on their shirt, and sprayed fabric paint over the design.

Because of the way this technique worked, we also talked about positive and negative space in design, how spraying the paint around their stencil (the positive space) meant the paint showed the design outline via the negative space. Our club members really enjoyed it!

If you’re in the Austin area come join us one Saturday!  Info about the next meeting is always up at our website: http://www.aspaciousplace.com/.
