Gallery class


     My youngest and I checked out a free family art class at a local gallery this past weekend.  A staff person told kids and parents about a few famous landscape artists, showing digital images of their work.  Then she walked us through this gallery's current display with its regional mountain/wilderness theme.  Finally we got to make a 3 D project as family teams or individually, using cardboard boxes, pre-made cardboard "mountains", masking tape, scissors and paints.
    This is mine.  It has 4 small pink mountains with snow-caps and a cascading stream that is sunk lower than the box top.  I liked adding pieces of cardboard with the smooth top ripped off to show the corrugation.  (See blog entry called Triptych for another corrugated project)  Fun to have to create something in about an hour.
