Ocean Collage Class
Before summer slipped too far into autumn, DEP art class
participants went on a sensory journey to the ocean. The group began by
sharing their own summer beach stories, while listening to environmental
ocean music and examining seashore treasures. Next, it was time to recreate
the beachside environment by sculpting starfish and molding seashells using
self-hardening clay. Some textured paint was then added to the sculptures to
make them more life-like. The collages also included fabrics to represent
sky, ocean and the shore; actual beach items such as sea glass, pebbles,
tiny shells and grains of sand were also incorporated into the pieces. |
