Hello LAB Fam!
We cannot wait for Spring time and warmer weather as much as our upcoming Weekly Classes at LAB! Starting March, we're excited for our themes: "Self Portraits and Best Buddies," inspired by the incredible artist Yoshitomo Nara. We'll delve into the exciting world of self-expression through art and why learning about Nara's unique style can be an enriching experience for kids all ages.
The Magic of Self Portraits
Self-portraits are not just about capturing one's physical features; they're a journey into self-discovery and self-expression. Through this theme, our young artists will embark on an adventure of exploring their own identities and expressing the uniqueness that makes them special. Painting self-portraits allows children to convey their emotions, preferences, and individuality on canvas, fostering a sense of self-appreciation and confidence.
Celebrating Friendships with Best Buddies
In addition to self-portraits, our classes will focus on creating artwork inspired by the concept of "Best Buddies." in April. This theme encourages children to celebrate the bonds they share with their friends and loved ones. Through collaborative projects, they will learn the joy of teamwork, communication, and the importance of cherishing relationships.
Discovering Yoshitomo Nara's Art Style
Yoshitomo Nara, a renowned contemporary artist, is famous for his captivating depictions of children with distinct, oversized heads and innocent expressions. Learning about Nara's art style can inspire your child to explore different perspectives, experiment with bold colours, and appreciate the beauty in simplicity. Nara's work often combines elements of pop culture, Japanese aesthetics, and a childlike innocence, creating a unique and visually engaging experience for viewers of all ages. Thus Nara's art matters for many reasons:
Cultural Appreciation: Nara's art reflects elements of Japanese culture, providing a wonderful opportunity for cultural exploration.
Encourages Creativity: Nara's whimsical and imaginative style encourages children to think outside the box and embrace their creativity.
Visual Storytelling: Nara's ability to tell stories through his art inspires children to create narratives within their own artwork.
Our classes, inspired by Yoshitomo Nara's art, provide a unique and enriching experience that goes beyond the canvas. Join us as we embark on a colorful adventure of self-portraits, best buddies, and the boundless creativity that lies within each young artist.
