Team up with your fellow Art Daze-ers and artist Chase Carlisle to design and build multi-layered, dynamic, large-scale sculptures that incorporate elaborate armature building, weaving of unique and varied materials, and assemblage. Then, bring a piece of home as a souvenir!
Art Daze II afternoon programs at The Aldrich allow children aged seven to ten years old to work with artists to experience the groundbreaking directions of today’s contemporary art. Participants in the three-day sessions unleash their creative talents to design, build, learn new concepts, experiment with materials, and have fun with their peers in a museum setting.
About the artist: Chase Carlisle, of Freestyle Arts Association, works primarily in collage media, weaving vintage pulp from books and magazines into romantic vignettes, mandalas and landscapes. He earned his MFA from the University of Massachusetts in 2006 and now works extensively as a teaching artist in Brooklyn, New York. Creating art with friends and students has become an important part of his art practice and a rewarding way to celebrate creativity.
Children’s summer programs at The Aldrich are supported, in part, by The Cowles Charitable Trust and the Estate of Ruth I. Krauss
