The World of Wearable Art

Aug 15 - 19, 2022

9AM - 3PM

Concept

Take art to the next level and actually become a piece of art in this workshop where students create fantastical masks and costumes out of a variety of mixed media. Papier-mâché, fuzzy and patterned fabric, and even plain old cardboard are used to spur inspiration and creativity. Finally, students work their wearable art on the runway in a dazzling presentation to friends and family at the end of the week.

This workshop is taught by a bilingual art educator who will support our English and Spanish speaking participants through the use of both languages during instruction. 

El taller será dado por un profesor de artes profesional que apoyará tanto a nuestros participantes hispanoparlantes como a los que hablan inglés haciendo uso de ambos lenguajes durante la clase.

El mundo del arte que se puede llevar puesto

Lleva el arte al siguiente nivel y conviértete en una obra de arte en este taller en el que los estudiantes crearán máscaras y disfraces fantásticos con una variedad de medios mixtos. Se utilizarán papel maché, telas difusas y estampadas e incluso cartón viejo; para estimular la inspiración y la creatividad. Por último, al final de la semana los alumnos pondrán en escena su arte que se puede llevar puesto en una deslumbrante presentación ante sus amigos y familiares.

Faculty

Lilian Lara

Lilian Lara is a mixed-media artist focusing on papier-mâché sculptures and costume design. Her love of outrageous pageantry and interest in the fantastical is evident in her work as she draws on her Mexican roots to create unique pieces. She believes art is an essential component to the human condition and should occupy a major space in our daily lives. To create is to communicate without words and boundaries—to be understood without explanation.

Art Break: Wow! Pow! Pop Art!

Olivia Martinez

Tuition $225
Code ZSK1302-24

Together we’ll gain inspiration from famous artists who were a part of the American Pop Art movement. This includes the Band-Aid dot paintings of Roy Lichtenstein and his comic book imagery, Jim Dine’s energetic hearts, Andy Warhol’s prints and portraits, and Claes Oldenburg’s giant colorful sculptures of everyday objects. A wide range of artistic media will be incorporated such as papier-mâché, construction paper, paint, chalk, and fabric to create bold, bright, and beautiful artistic creations. Art Breaks are an exciting program at Anderson Ranch Arts Center for kids ages 7-10. They are scheduled to complement breaks in the elementary school calendar throughout the year. Drop off and pick up will take place at the Evelyn and Martin Siegel Children’s Building, just inside the main Anderson Ranch entrance. Children should come prepared with a snack, lunch, water bottle, and appropriate apparel for a full day of art-making.
