Happy Earth Day!
In honor of Earth Day, the last two projects I chose for art class were based on recycling. The first one is a Louise Nevelson assemblage project. This week's project will focus on Frank Stella (based on this lesson at Modern Art 4 Kids) and will use recycled cardboard. I will post pictures on that soon, but for now here are the results of our Nevelson exploration.
The project was based on this lesson at Art Projects for Kids.
All materials used were recycled. They were assembled using a hot glue gun and then painted white or black with acrylic craft paint.
