Art classes in Berlin
This project reminds me of the way we used to play. Get some boxes, get some cardboard, find the scissors, make a house, make a school, make your own parliament… that would actually make a lot of sense.
For the big finale – paint it all!
Do it! This is something kids will just love dearly. They can’t wait for the next week at art, they talk about it, they prepare for it.
I hope I caught the process well enough, otherwise there is a video on Artnuts intagram page.
Use your trash if you can. It wasn’t my trash but the amount of these weird forms… Of course I will walk 50 times to the studio to bring them all in and see what they can offer. It was great for once but kids couldn’t pile them high and regardless of the amount, it still wasn’t enough. So if you ever come across them, I’d say meh. 50:50.
Cutting the fabric is never easy. This project takes a lot of focus and motivation and probably works better with children from approximately 8 years on. However, I never underestimate children. Younger children can do nearly any project, as long as we avoid the more challenging parts – like cutting the fabric :). These are just steps in their learning process. The results might be less complex and less detailed, but who is an expert enough to say which is better?
I always feared to do Basquiat with the children and REALLY, WHY??! It turned out to be the most perfect kids project I ever did. The history, the story, humanity, aesthetics and reality of life made it in a teaching process I proudly walked from when finished. And the kids turned it into most happy thing ever.
How cool are these again?! I know I shared similar many times so I’m not going to write too much, you know, just a blocky rectangle form, squeeze the neck 2/3 into the rectangle and form the rest. If your head is an egg, it’s ok, if your head is a full moon, it’s ok, if your head is a square, it’s ok, if your head has a swollen wisdom tooth cheeck, it’s ok too. Just don’t draw but squeeze out or push in. A 3-D is a 3-D and that’s about that!
And don’t forget to take the insides out. No need for too much brain!
Dinosours and smiley boys.
Portraits and self portraits in beautifly arranged frames. So many little details and fine work.
This was so nice! It’s just unclear to me how to hang them!!!
Sort of one line drawing including composition of all sorts of daily electric home utensils and some of the suppliers.
Halloween and shadow theater. And the music was great throughout the class!
