Spring Vacation Art Projects

As part of my March artist of the month opportunities at the Dallas Museum of Art, I was given the chance to try a few experimental art projects. So, during spring break, I took two days to lead storyart walks in the galleries followed by collaborative art projects suitable for all ages. I decided to design two projects around the recycling theme that could be hung at the Plano Centre during the Live Green Expo, Plano's huge Earth Day event Saturday, April 17th.

Here are photos taken of the completed art works and a few during the creation of the Go Green Graffiti Door. We had a blast and the art looks great. Fun! Fun!

Go Green For Our Kids: The tree with the balls of paper is on a recycled old canvas, covered in old copper wall paper, a ceiling tile that was @#%& to cut, scrabble tiles, masking tape for the kids to write their names on, gel medium & acrylic paint and scrap paper from the museum.

Go Green Graffiti Door: An old closet door from Habitat for Humanity, house paints & colored pencils.
