Today at Art For Life at the Milwaukee Art Museum - a similar agenda took place to the previous week but with a different art piece to observe along with an alternative medium. This week it was based on Sculpture and we used Clay, as part of the Studio aspect.
We observed Miro's work (miniture sculpture) and this engaged the individuals more so than a painting. Observing and intellectually discussing what they could see. From this the participants thought of emotions and outlooks that they had to build and develop their own personal clay sculpture.
This sensory based activity provided lots of stimulation and was a playful and explored studio session. Some individuals played with the clay then built a concept and vice versa. - This challenged them in a new way but provided a new space to develop within.
