Indy Art Lab @ Spanish Oaks: Drawing, Painting, Jewelry & Marble Run Centers In Action


We had a wonderful day of art making with approximately 40 children and adults at Spanish Oaks today. Indy Art Lab would like to thank the management at Spanish Oaks and our volunteers Kathy, India, Josiah, Melita and Maria who helped us with set up, modeled creative processes and worked with young artists all day long! The artists who participated today engaged in various creative processes from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. A thrilling day of art making. Thank you so much!!
Our set up included enough two and three dimensional activities to keep our artists active throughout the day.
Many of the children opted to stay primarily at the drawing center. Others spent most of their time at the block building/marble run center. The question that remains of immense interest to me is why do some children prefer some activities over others?
Drawing center consists of a display board, colored pencils, pastels, oil pastels, pencils, erasers, four different sizes of paper and an art library all under a portable 10 ft. by 25 ft. outdoor art room.
Knotted bracelet with beads created at the jewelry center.
This artist created three significant drawings in two hours.
Portable art room with sign up table in view inside the picnic area at Spanish Oaks.
This artist amazed all the participants at camp! She has an undeniable talent!
Bead collage!
25 ft. marble run had two jumps and several level changes!
Block artist experiments with balance and structure.
