RBCM@Home Kids: Emily Carr Inspired Art Making with Jeri Engen
To celebrate the exhibition Emily Carr: Fresh Seeing, RBCM @ Home (Kids) will have three sessions over three months that will explore Emily Carr as an artist and her art making through hands-on projects.
Looking closely at postcards and paintings created by Emily Carr, we’ll make our own postcards using pictures and words to communicate the importance of place. This session will explore Emily Carr’s use of abstraction by creating simple shapes, and we’ll put that into practice while we develop our own artwork.
And because you’ll be making postcards, when you are done you can send it along to someone you love.
Supplies needed:
- Recycled cardboard or heavy cardstock
- Scissors
- Oil pastels or crayons
Jeri Engen has been working in art education for over 25 years in elementary schools, galleries, museums, community art organizations and teaching in her own private studio, Kudzu Studio.
