Art Cart: Pattern Play

Play with patterns! Create and get inspired by artist Dana Awartani at this week’s Art Cart! Young artists will take a close look at Awartani’s work, I Went Away and Forgot You. A While Ago I Remembered. I Remembered Iʼd Forgotten You. I Was Dreaming. Then they will explore patterns and collage their own layered work of art!

Find the Art Cart on the Third Level and pick up your pattern materials.

Do this at home! Can you paint a dot? Now, can you paint a million dots? Create a painting inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s use of seemingly infinite dots. Instructions here.
