Printmaking All Over
The kids at the Bellewood Home for Children have really loved printmaking! Instructor and ceramic artist Lisa Simon says they have done some wonderful monoprints and callographs and group printing. Her photos here show the kids doing group printmaking. They discovered that they also like to print on themselves!
Special thanks to Art for Kosair Kids® through Kosair Charities in partnership with Fund for the Arts for their generous support of this program!
Heart Art
Big thanks to Bellewood Horticulture for sharing this photo with LVA!
"Ms. Annette from LVA taught our kiddos this 'heart art' project last year. The Bellewood students decided to try it again on their own. Thank you to Louisville Visual Art and Arts for Kosair Kids® @kosaircharities in partnership with the @fundforthearts for making this possible."
Open Doors Feature: Visually Impaired Preschool Services
We are having a great time working with Kosair Kids® through Kosair Charities and Fund for the Arts to bring a 28 week program to the Visually Impaired Preschool Services! During this class visit artist facilitator Ehren Reed and intern Zara Goldberg worked with students to mold clay into the letter of their first name and then add textural embellishments. This exercise is in preparation for a clay tile mural that the students will create next!
Open Doors Feature: Photography Time Machine
We had a great time working with Kosair Kids® through Kosair Charities and Fund for the Arts to bring a 8 week photography program as part of a full school year initiative with Home of the Innocents! Photographer Jenny Zeller took students through the history of photography— working with cyanotypes, polaroids, transfers, disposable cameras, as well as digital cameras! While exploring various photographic processes, students also learned the fundamentals of image making.
