Friday Photos: Art Spot Creations

Over the last few months, we’ve been mixing up all kinds of fun and recyclable materials for visitors to create with at the Art Spot in the Center for Creative Connections. When selecting materials, we carefully consider the broad range of artworks from the DMA’s collection featured in the cases amongst the creation tables. Having a variety of styles, influences, and cultures reflected in these works will in turn help inspire unique creations (or re-creations!) from visitors of all ages. From cardboard tubes and popsicle sticks to colorful masking tape and aluminum foil, there are endless ways to be inspired! Check out some of our recent visitor creations inspired by the works of art currently on view:

Inspired by Owl effigy, artist unknown, 20th century

Inspired by Jim Lowe, The Single Mother at 3:00 A.M., 1980

Inspired by Comb, artist unknown, c. 1900

Inspired by Cat Bird, Clifton Barr, 1952

Hello, Arturo!

Next time you’re in C3, sit at the Art Spot for a little while and consider how you can transform these ordinary materials into something extraordinary.
