WEEK TWO: DOTS!
In this workshop, we explore mark-making with dots, and see how versatile they are! Using just some Q-Tips, a sponge brush and tempera paint, we explore all the ways we can make pictures with dots.Then we learn about the artists Chuck Close, Alfredo Arreguin, and Yayoi Kusama, all of whom are famous for their use of dots. Last but most fun, we use our imaginations to paint our own picture of whatever we want with dots.
En este taller, exploramos la creación de marcas con bolitas (lunares) y vemos cuán versátiles son. Usando solo algunos Q-Tips, un pincel de esponja y pintura, exploramos todas las formas en que podemos hacer imágenes con lunares. Luego nos enteramos de los artistas Chuck Close, Alfredo Arreguin y Yayoi Kusama, todos famosos por su uso de lunares. Por último, usamos nuestra imaginación para pintar nuestra propia imagen de lo que queramos con puntos.
