Wayne Thiebaud/Cake Sculpture

Create a sculptural piece of “cake”! (Sorry you can’t eat it.)

Inspired by artist Wayne Thiebaud’s luscious images of desserts we will make a three-dimensional slice of cake using everyday materials: cardboard, masking tape and paint. Use your creativity to personalize your slice of cake.

Anamorphic Drawing

You won’t believe your eyes! Create a drawing that appears to levitate. Pop up Art School will show you step-by-step how to create an anamorphic drawing which uses forced perspective to create an illusion.

Start with basic shapes like a sphere or cube and create a series of drawings. When you look at the drawing 1 to 2 feet away the object looks like it’s floating!

NEW! for Halloween

Day of the Dead Altar

Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico between October 31st and November 2nd. Day of the Dead is a festive occasion, a time to celebrate, much like a family reunion. Making an altar (or ofrenda as it’s sometimes called in Spanish) for the occasion can be a way for you to honor the life of someone who was important to you, or remember your ancestors. We will use a small wooden coffin and add your own colorful festive decorations and images.
