Yves Klein Blue


Some painters use brushes to paint – some use other things like turkey basters or wooden sticks. Yves Klein used people! And he loved the color blue so much that he designed a shade of blue that he named after himself! He would put paint on his models and then pull them around the canvas or have them lie down on the canvas – like a living paint brush! Sophie seems to be having fun sliding around on the paint! […]

Drip Painting and Jackson Pollack


Looks like Sophie and Sadie are trying to make a painting like Jackson Pollack – who was famous for his Drip Painting style. He liked having his painting canvas on the floor or on a wall, and a lot of his paintings are very big. He would ‘drip’ the paint onto the canvas with brushes or sticks or even turkey basters! Drip painters were part of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring […]

Target with four Sophie faces


It looks like Sadie is recognizing Sophie’s beautiful smile in this art! The original piece, called Target with Four Faces by Jasper Johns is a mix of sculpture and painting and collage and more! The faces are plaster, the frame and the boxes the faces are in is wood, and the target is painted on top of a collage of newspapers…and the paint is a mix of paint and beeswax. So interesting!

Banana Split!


We’ve been doing a lot of exploring of the museum – and it’s time for a snack! Did you know that almost all of the bananas that we eat are clones of each other?! There are over 1,000 different kinds of bananas, but only a few that taste good enough to eat – even covered with ice cream, sauce, and whipped cream! I’m glad Sophie and Sadie are such good friends they can share so nicely! Click on the image […]

Collage – Matisse, Icarus, and Sadie


People have been making collages for hundreds of years – but it was artists including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso that brought it to modern art. A famous collage by Matisse is called Icarus, who in Greek Mythology was the one who wanted to fly. I want to to – and I think Sadie does also! How about you? The word collage comes from the French word for glue. You don’t have to actually use glue to make a collage […]

Sculpture – Yam Masks


One of the great things about museums is we can learn about other countries and cultures. We usually think of masks as something that people wear when we are pretending to be someone or something else.  In Papua New Guinea, Yam masks (also called Babamini) are made every year to decorate yams to look like people at the Yam Harvest Festival! Some of the yams are 12 feet long – that’s bigger than 2 people! Click on the image below, or […]

Turkey


It’s almost Thanksgiving – which is all about turkeys. Even if you don’t eat them! One of the ways to tell a boy turkey from a girl turkey is by looking at their poops! Boy poops look like spiral coils and girl poops look like the letter J! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Tickets at the museum


There are so many kinds of tickets! Tickets to get on the bus, raffle tickets, movie tickets, traffic tickets, lottery tickets, parking tickets, theater tickets, and tickets to get into a museum, just to name a few! Sometimes you have to pay for the tickets and sometimes you don’t. These have a tear off part at the top so the museum can keep a part to know how many people saw the exhibit and Sophie and Sadie can keep the […]
