As we move from 2015 to 2016 I wanted to share some of the final projects before the holidays. This is one that's an old favorite that I often bring out again upon request. Learned from a street artist in Oakland, CA. we re-purpose old vinyl records by drawing on and decorating with permanent paint markers. Somehow the circular shape, the velvety slide of the marker on the slick surface often inspire new types of images and patterns.
Below you can see the focus with which the students were working away, from the elementary schoolers at Perry Street in Hamburg who I did an outreach program with to the home-schoolers that meet with me bi-weekly at the T.E.A. Factory in downtown Reading from kinder age to teens.
Stay tuned as we move into more 3D and collaborative projects this spring, in addition to going on some field trips and offering drawing circles to parents. We are busy with Art Lab which still meets on Monday afternoons, 4-5pm but with a new focus: making crafts to bring to the seniors at the Reading Hospital through their volunteer department. If anyone is interested in an outreach or field trip program please contact me at bkrumholz@alb.edu
For teens, I can hook you up with tickets to any cultural event on campus, with a built in opportunity to meet some college students. And teens are welcome to join in on any of our Meet & Make sessions which are listed on the website.
Looking forward to a creative winter and spring!
