February at Emerson Space Case was teeming with sea life! The kindergarteners & first graders of Beverly Cleary Hollyrood's after-school Camp Fire program created a masterpiece of paper, paint, and cardboard.
It happens to be my job to teach arts & crafts to these kids, so I decided to introduce them to the world of installation art. We worked for three weeks on making creatures, water, sky, and boats. It all came together to create a gigantic scene that filled the windows with bright colors and fantastical imagery.
We also created masks for the kids to wear, in which I photographed them. Each kid's photo was inserted into the scene, to show them frolicking around in their own art.
