Kerplunk! in the Fall

   Thanks to all Kerplunkers who braved Baltimore's summer heat to make some great art with us! It was great to see some new and old faces. And of course, we would love to see you all back in the fall.
Mark your calendar with the fall dates: November 12th- December 10th,
 same time 12 to 3.

Have a great beginning of your school year and we'll see you soon!

Kerplunk! August 6th

For the final Kerplunk! of the summer we created image transfers using old books and packing tape! Once soaked in water, the images that had been pressed onto the packing tape can be made into transparencies by rubbing away the paper. The image sticks on the tape! They can then be stuck on a variety of surfaces to decorate. We made ours into postcards.

If you're interested in making your own, here are some instructions: http://www.scrapscene.com/2008/04/thursdays-tutorial-packing-tape-transfers.html

Here are some of the creative designs that kids came up with (and a silly drawing):

Kerplunk! July 30th

In this session, Kerplunkers had a great time decorating and assembling pinwheels. We had an excellent turn out and even more excellent displays of creativity.

One Hot Kerplunk!!! July the 23rd

Everyone survived the heat today, making some cool art. Today our project was the Little Big Show. We checked out all the great artwork in the Big Show, and chose or favorites. Then we made our own show, but mini. I think next year the two shows should be together because our mini art gallery's turned out great. Just check them out yourself!

Kerplunk! July 16

At this past week's Kerplunk! class, families did a scavenger hunt in The Big Show exhibit. They searched for everything from flamingos to roses to abstract art to photographs. After they'd fully explored the art work, they decorated picture frames for their own beautiful art work! Take a look at some of the examples. Hope to see you next week!

Kerplunk! July 9th

Welcome back Kerplunkers!! I don't know about you all, but I had great time Saturday. Just check out these wonderful pictures. Next week we will be doing a scavenger hunt based on The Big Show. Tell neighbors and friends, we hope to see you next class!
