Yayoi Kusama Inspired Work

We saw sculptures and paintings by Yayoi Kusama online and read a little of her story. We discussed how she used art to deal with stress or worries and how we could do the same.

Initially we were going to make the pumpkins out of paper mache, but we had a guest artist coming soon. So we made due with orange Styrofoam pumpkins were purchased from the Dollar Tree. We painted them with house paint primer and them used acrylic paint for our designs. The paintings were created on 180 lb watercolor paper using color pencils and acrylics. 

Discussions: using art as a mode of relaxation.
Art Terms: Pattern, Contrast
