Lesson 14: Self-Portraits can be “realistic” observations or symbolic expressions of our personalities. We looked at examples of portraits from Vermeer, Münter, Wiley, and more and learned basic face measurements. Next we add color and a frame. #teachingartist #learningthroughart #guggenheim #guggenheimmuseum #selfportrait
A second day of 3-D cardboard techniques. Brass fasteners & a Chomp Saw added to the pleasure of problems solving and creating. @psis48r@guggenheim #teachingartist #learningthroughart #guggenheimmuseum #sculpturewithkids
Transformation, Pattern, Relief, Symmetry, Asymmetry, Negative & Positive, all came into play with this deceivingly simple lesson. We also looked at the stamped work of Ruth Azawa!
The challenge was to see the letters as shapes, not writing. You can see personality come through too!

The skills include: Using collage, tape, burnishing, twisting wire, color, pattern, and solving problems. Transforming a cardboard boxes into talisman! Art making makes for competent and risk taking students! #teachingartist #learningthroughart #guggenheim #guggenheimmuseum #ps48r
Lesson 9 - We learned about symmetry, flower petals, folding and cutting mirror shapes, and lots of tape tearing and adhering. #teachingartist #learningthroughart #guggenheim #guggenheimmuseum @psis48r
Repoussé, malleable metals, and the Statue of Liberty! A great new lesson in transforming a relief with aluminum and a sharpie “patina”. #teachingartist #learningthroughart #guggenheim #ps48r #repoussé
