Project: Create a Playful Universe inspired by Ignacio Iturria

Use mixed media to create forms and settings inspired by the work of Ignacio Iturria

In this NEU To Do for Kids project, young artists will work with foil, tape, cardboard and paper to create forms and a playful scene within a box frame. As they assemble the scene and arrange the forms, students will explore how light, shadow, and positive and negative spaces can enhance their sculptures.
