About This Activity
Description
Theme: We are Up, Up, and AwayLike balloons in the sky, we are up, up, and away. We learn about the Polish art of paper cutting called Wycinanki. We focus on designs from the Lowicz Region, which layer paper to create a colorful dramatic effect. Also we'll simulate "gilding" - an art form widely used by the ancient Romans. Gilding involves applying real gold leaf to surfaces. We learn about two great American artists - LeRoy Neiman known best for his art depicting sports and circus animals and Norman Rockwell who recorded everyday life in paintings. Rockwell received America's highest honor - the Presidental Award for his Americana folk art.
