Inspired by the work of sand painter, Joe Mangrum and Navajo healing rituals, children designed their own sand paintings using concentric circles, organic and geometric forms.
To see Joe’s work, visit his website www.joemangrum.com or find him daily in Union Square or Washington Square Park.

Wow! Grimanesa Amoros: Beauty, Bubbles, Light, Lines & Fun!
On my always engaging tour today with Riva Blumenfeld of http://www.blumenfeldfineart.com/.
Mrs. Amoros took the time to take us on a journey through bubble islands, lines of lights and even into Times Square’s installation for the Armory show (Did you see it?)
These pieces made me feel extra serene, relaxed and even tickled somehow!
Now I’m working on a kid-friendy version- So watch our Art Adventures, here comes more fun!

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.”
In Art Adventures, children discussed the work of David Hockney and his interest in space, digital reproduction and representations of the real world.
Children used layering and parts to create a whole to make their own non-conventional photomontages which played with different points of perspective and explore representation.
Art Adventures Studio took a class trip to explore the exciting world of Gutai at the Guggenheim Museum.
