Kerplunk! is back with Street Art Inspired Necklaces!

This past Saturday was the first day of our new season. We went outside to enjoy the great weather and had an amazing turn out. Thank you everyone for coming and please come back next Saturday from 12-3:00 PM. Tell your friends!

Flags of Color

  The last Saturday of Summer 2012 Kerplunk! was a day for making flags. 

And that's exactly what we did! We also learned about adinkra symbols from 

West Africa and stamped them on our flags. They were even more 

colorful with sparkles, sequins and beads that were added.  

Hope you had a great summer with us and we will see you again soon. 

Dolls, Dolls, Dolls Everywhere!

We had so much fun making beautiful yarn dolls! There were warrior girl dolls, karate

boy dolls and even an octopus doll with colorful embellishments of beads, 

sparkling tinsel, and gems. Next week we will make flags and learn about 

adinkra symbols. Come and have fun with us!

Little Galleries

Imagine creating your very own gallery and fill it with your favorite art! Well, that is exactly what we did this Saturday at Kerplunk! Children came with their families, toured the The Big Show Exhibition, and spent the afternoon creating their galleries with lots of colorful pictures, sculptures, flowers, trees and sky. We all had a great time.

Next Saturday we are going to make yarn dolls! And, of course, we will have a lot of fun!

Last Saturday Kerplunk! was filled with all kinds of surprises. First, families visited the Body as Monument exhibition in our Amalie Rothschild Gallery to explore how many different ways bodies can move and be created. Then the fun really started with paper, pens, markers, jewels, beads and gems. Dolls, monsters, and funny creatures sprung forth with lots of fun and laughter. 

Please join us this coming Saturday when we create our own little art galleries.  See you there!

Happy Sunny Days to you all! Everybody needs at least one great pair of sunglasses

 and that's exactly what we made this Saturday. We provided the sunglasses, jewels, gems, feather and beads. All the kids and their parent provided the creativity with wonderful, stylish results. We had a great time!
