Week 10 - Omega Artspace

3-Dimensional Wire Sculpting

The students were given the chance to draw 3-Dimensionally using only a piece of wire. They were ask to describe their day or weekend using only the given wire, making it one continuous line drawing. Many chose to make something they saw over the weekend.

Week 9 - Omega Artspace

This week at Omega we brought in a visitor, Mike, a local Graffiti artist. Mike showed the kids some new ways for them to write, draw, and color their names. Kids were very enthuisiastic to see his skills as he demonstrated on the board. He also took the time to write each of their names, (40 students!) in graffiti style lettering, giving them a chance to copy it. 

On Thursday, Omega Artspace had a free for all paint day, and the kids ran with it. With large paper rolled out across the floor, each student had their own space to explore and create their own masterpieces. They used sponges, brushes, paper towels, and of course their hands to paint. It was messy and fun... good thing the paint was washable!

Week 8 - Omega Artspace

Omega has been busy with some new creative projects that have begun to prepare the students for our large project in the future. Recently we had groups create banners for hanging around Omega. They brainstormed about art, school, hard work, and other messages they wanted to get out. Using construction paper they were able to make very nice, colorful banners.
