Our fifth and final Workshop KIDSART 2011 has passed and it was a great way to end our adventure of Understanding in our world... We at KIDSART would like to thank all of the parents and of course all the wonderful children!!! This was an awesome summer! And special thanks to artist and perpetual student Sinisa Kukec for opening up his doors to hold the final camp! A job well done!

Sharing dialogue on "Understanding" before the process!

The Fun Begins!


As Kukec wrote in his workshop synopsis! One Consciousness has effect over another Consciousness... and vis versa... Well we would like to say that this certainly took place during each camp, every Saturday morning every studio became very much like field of flowers... constantly dealing with the force, cause and effect of gravity... and each other. We are all unique flowers and our pollen (ideas, beliefs, truths, etc. etc.) effected us all... and so... “Understanding” a language of flowers and gravity was a great success! Kukec goes on to say, every workshop became a metaphor to better understand “Understanding”... it was not a easy task... truly a life time endeavor.

Kukec briefly explains the cause and effect of gravity painting with epoxy.


The gravity painting begins! The kids did a great job!


Through out the camps the use of dialogue, process... and collaboration. The children made art works alone and together... creating a magical landscape... The art work will be displayed at the KIDSART 2011 SUMMER CAMP exhibition at Legal Art this coming September 8th! Hope to see all of you there!!! One last thing ... please remember that even though our adventure together has come to an end... this is an ongoing experience for all of us... an homage to the life long lesson of “Understanding”.


Gravity painting!!! YAY PAINTING!

YAY GRAVITY!

Latron, Kukec, and Azziji watch gravity do it's magic!
