Art Club Happenings: Macchias

The first session of art club is winding down! The theme of this session was "recycled art" and students learned that artists can use different recycled materials to create art! We used a variety of materials including coffee filters, plastic bottles, old magazines, and wallpaper!

For our first project we learned about glass artists, Dale Chihuly. Using coffee filters, markers, plastic cups, rubber bands, and liquid-spray starch, we created macchias in the style of the contemporary artist. These were super colorful and organic.

We took glued our macchias together to create two beautiful assemblages! Here are the two assemblages that are located outside of the art room!

Nice work!
