In this workshop we explore how to reinvent everyday objects and transform them into new and beautiful artistic creations. We find our inspiration from old magazines, bottle caps, tin cans, coffee filters, wire hangers, plastic bottles, silverware and more! The sky’s the limit for our imaginations as we reinvent these everyday items into functional and decorative pieces. Students will make magazine bowls, hanging tin lanterns, mosaic picture frames, and recycled paper journals. Come join in on the fun and rethink what art can be! Kazaam! Pow! Varoom! This week let’s take a look at famous artists that were a part of the American Pop Art Movement. We discover the dot paintings of Roy Lichenstein, Andy Warhol’s Campbell soup cans, Jim Dine’s hearts, and Claes Oldenburg’s giant cloth sculptures. We take our inspiration from the masters to create our own Pop art pieces that reference modern day popular culture. Students use a variety of different media such as papier-mâché, construction paper, paint, chalk, fabric and more to create bright, bold and beautiful creations. Come join us as we learn how to make art from natural fibers! Fibers come from both plants and animals, the most common fibers being wool, cotton, linen and paper. In this workshop, we learn all sorts of fiber arts such as felting, paper quilling, weaving and dyeing techniques. We begin the week by dyeing our own wool to make felted sculptures, some functional others decorative. Then we take time to learn the sculptural possibilities of paper by creating 3-D paintings, baskets, and bags. Fiber arts are not just limited to knitting, let your creativity soar with this less common art medium! GEORGIA BURKE studied visual art and education at Regis University.
