Portrait of Takashi Murakami by Ivanna, age 5 “We want to see the newest things. That is because we want to see the future, even if only momentarily. It is the moment in which, even if we don't completely understand what we have glimpsed, we are nonetheless touched by it. This is what we have come to call art.” - Takashi Murakami So proud of my students, today in class we studied art by #TakashiMurakami 🇯🇵🎨 @takashipom 👁🐙🌼🍄😁 We listened to Japanese pop music & hip hop & created pieces inspired by #Murakami ‘s Superflat style #ChildrensArtLessons 🎨 @ #LCAKidsStudio 👨🏻🎨👩🏻🎨 @laredocenterforthearts Just love 💙💜 this piece 🖌 Every week the children are introduced to a new artist 👩🏻🎨 and are challenged to draw inspiration from said artist & take visual & aesthetic cues from their artwork. They are asked to study & observe the artist’s style & use of color to in turn emulate & interpret it in their own way so they too can develop their own style & visual language They can draw from their own imagination to create their own characters or do a portrait 🖼 I love that my student chose to challenge herself to do a portrait of Murakami, she was inspired by his colorful outfit style 👨🏻🎤 & octopus 🐙 hat and just had to draw it #ArtIsForEveryone #PopArt #Superflat #ContemporaryArtForKids #ColorTheoryForKids #ColorTheory 🖍 #ContemporaryArt #ArtHistoryForKids 🎨📜 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzcQXqEFidL/?igshid=1xefzwxsz3hc8
