Do Ho Suh is one of our artists that we are exploring this month. He is a Korean artist who works primarily in sculpture, installation, & drawing. He is best known for his intricate sculptures that defy conventional notions of scale & site-specificity, which draws attention to the ways viewers occupy and inhabit public space. Do Ho Suh’s work reveals a highly developed awareness of the different ways architecture mediates our experience of space. Architecture has been a key reference for the artist so his work pays attention to the site-specificity and sensorial experience of the viewer engaging with his pieces while moving in the exhibition space.
We invited the children to create a collaborative collage that is inspired by his art. We took Colorations Poster Paper, cut them into different shapes to construct a similar structure as the base. In a tinker tray we provided cellophane pre-cut into different shapes along with clear glue & brushes from Discount School Supply. The children were invited to create a collaborative collage.
Every time we provide the children with the opportunity to create art we are reminded of how engaging & important art is. Art has a beautiful way of transforming and has many facets to it and exploring artists such as Do Ho Suh and interpreting their creativity in different ways is so much fun!
Here are two other invitaitons to Explore the Artist through Resist Painting and Invitation to Create.
