Improv Wall Painting with Basquiat
Students were inspired by Basquiat’s loose, free- style improvisational paintings to paint with repetition of lines and shapes as well as using words and symbols. A friend of Andy Warhol, Basquiat was different from graffiti artists because his words had a higher meaning than just a name on the side of a building. He described his work, “I cross out words so you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them.”
Gutai at the Guggenheim
Art Adventures Studio took a class trip to explore the exciting world of Gutai at the Guggenheim Museum.

CCA loves museum guards!
Museum Adventures loves the art museum guards! On one of our recent visits to the Guggenheim Museum of Art, Museum Adventures kids and adults enjoyed the Picasso Black and White exhibit lead by Claire Munday.
“The guards are always interested in what we are doing, the projects we work on and they share such wonderful stories! For example, it was a curious guard that told me a great story about Picasso while I was building the lesson plan. He said that when Picasso would go to a restaurant, he would take the insides of the soft french bread and begin rolling and shaping it into sculpture while waiting for his food! Having such busy hands and always having to be making art would certainly explain why Picasso has so many pieces.” ~ Claire
