As amazing as it may seem these abstract pictures - which to me look like something out of the
ending of 2001 - A Space Odyssey (sp?) - when Keir Dullea is hurled into space in his quest to find out what the
Monoliths was - are actually a result of a project I did with my two g-kids - ages 5 and almost 3.
The abstract art project was done on one panel of a Room Divider - and the meduim was that of
colored sand and glitter. The artists simply explored the Wonderful World of Abstract - by pouring the sand and glitter directly on the panel - as I stood by excitedly - seeing how absorbed they were in it all. Some glue was used and today - after taking these pictures for posterity - I turned the room divider
upright once more - and then proceeded to clean up the mess. I was able to save some of the sand and glitter for another time.
All in all - I deem it a very successful project - and I'm hoping it is the start of a new 'thing' - in the annals of abstart art. Perhaps not quite on the level of - let's say - Jackson Pollock's innovative drip
method - but still - one never knows - What New Worlds Are There To Explore.
