forms! Mix tempera paints and develop a color wheel
- using it to create interest in compositions. Learn
about color values while creating a monochromatic
portrait inspired by Picasso's blue period. Discover
modern Pop Art, as we create a multicolor,
Warholesque printmaking rendition, focused on color
block repetition. Examine the art of Africa as we
collage a woven Kente cloth with a patterned
paper. Blend various colors with oil pastels while
reviewing the work of Jim Dine who uses shape and
color to enliven his creations; how will yours look? Use
warm colors to create rich sunflowers inspired by the
works of Van Gogh, and more! Join us on this vivid
journey of colorful fun and, as always, “Dress for
Mess!”
Smart with Art educators will teach students to
work with architectural design elements, learn
about creating art in perspective, and explore
practical applications of 3D technology. Additionally,
there are art-related extension activities included
with each step of the design process. Students will
be able to create a personalized 3D model, send it
to be “3D Printed”, and take home at the end of
class. Join us on this 3D adventure where art and
technology collide!
