As a music lover and as an artist who loves to portray the emotional aspect of music on people, this show looks very enticing…. Will let you know! http://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/portraits-sound
Through June 7th @NYPL for Performing Arts on the UWS
While Elijah’s Cup is the 5th untouched cup of wine, Miriam’s Cup is for water from each guest’s cup to celebrate the crossing of the Sea of Reeds. It was said that Moses’ sister lead the women in dance and song with tambourines when they safely reached the other side.
In the spirit of Passover and the Seder meal, Children designed their own versions of Elijah’s or Miriam’s Cup exploring the art of Decoupage (A French word using the process of a glue mixture over papers and tissues.) To cut, in French, is “Couper” explaining the cutting of the papers before applying them.
Then we decorated freely with jewels to make the special cups stand out at any Seder Meal!
Other versions may include Sculpey or glass paints.
Thank you Lauren Pohl, Founder of Kid’s Central Station for highlighting our programs with Yahoo Finance!
We loved how it turned out!
With a printout of face dimensions, pencil, eraser, sharpies, cray-pas on their side & a canvas… 
Discuss contrasting colors, opposites, around and behind +types of lines and shapes. Use examples from Alex Katz to the Fauves to African Masks!
Surrealism and functionality come together while you create your very own Dali-inspired clock! Using metal embossing techniques, these clocks will be designed and constructed to reflect the “melting” of Dali’s works, complete with base and stand.

Picture an outline of a fir tree, star on top, colored in, on poster board or foam core… Poke holes with a pencil. Take colored Xmas lights and push through the openings! Voila!
Make a large tree, and buy the shortest lights:) Color it in with markers using repeated strokes or scribbles. Have fun with your kids. Put it in a window. If you try it, send us pics to post!
Can’t wait to share this with our 3-5’s today! Basic lines may seem rather basic and unimportant to focus on, however, recognizing and purposefully implementing them into desired outcomes is really the key to any drawing.
Takashi Murikami provided us with a multitude of learning opportunities!
Takashi Murikami is from Japan. He loves “Superflat,” a word he made up! It means colors and shapes look flat on a page, not round. In this piece of art, we made Superflat go 3D: With a sphere… but the only way you can tell from the front is to notice the light casting shadows and shapes having perspective.
Students learned about working larger to smaller, a technique used in painting, as well as contrast, form, perspective, pattern and optical illusion.
