Frequently Asked Questions
Featured Lesson Plans
Use the bases of discarded containers to make a plaster sea urchin sculpture. Many bases are already divided into fifths — perfect symmetry for a sea urchin “test”, or shell. Embellish dry plaster by adding dots of paint using a paintbrush handle, detail writers, or a small squeeze bottle. Create an entire colony of sea creatures for the classroom!
Use inks and alcohol to create interactive diffused patterns on paper. Bright inks and common rubbing alcohol work together to create surprising results! Experiment with dark over light, or light over dark. Try applying alcohol with tools such as brush handles, by dripping, or with an atomizer bottle. Use this technique in compositions or as a way to make decorative papers for other uses.
Yayoi Kusama is obsessed with dots and has been using them since her role as an avant-garde artist in 1960s counterculture. And why not? Dots are fun, dots are fast, dots are universal. They can be rounded or spherical, they can rise above a surface or remain flat. Anyone can start with a dot, diverge to a pattern, and end with a painting or assemblage. The trick is repetition — of shape, sizes, colors, and patterns.
