Thanks to everyone who made this program such a success!

Thank you to Chase for providing the funding that made 3:01 Club possible, and to Girls Inc. for being an engaged and committed partner.

And a very special thank you to the girls, who brought this program to life. We are proud of you all and hope you will continue to explore art and innovate as you grow!

Visit Three: NEW WAYS OF SEEING

Some works of art are innovative because the artist uses everyday things and encourages us to see them in a new or different way. Artist Joan Miró arranged objects he found around his studio to create the sculpture Caress of a Bird, and artist James Turrell uses light to change the way we see the sky in Tending, (Blue).

TRY THIS AT HOME: Ordinary to Extraordinary

You can turn things you find around the house into inspiration for drawings.
First, look for things around the house that are smaller than a sheet of paper, such as scissors, bottles, or keys.
Next, set one or more of your objects on a sheet of paper and trace around it with a pencil.
Finally, draw on and around the outline to turn it into something new! Show your drawing to a friend or family member and see if they can guess what you traced.

Visit Two: PROBLEM SOLVING

Once an artist has a great idea for an artwork, he or she must figure out how to bring that idea to life. This may mean making sketches and plans like architect Renzo Piano did when designing the Nasher building, or it may mean planning how to put the parts of an artwork together for display, like a team of people did when installing Jonathan Borofsky’s Walking to the Sky.

TRY THIS AT HOME: Eco-Art Challenge

Use your problem solving skills to create art using limited materials.
First, find a friend or family member to participate in your challenge.
Next, look around the house to find materials you wouldn’t usually use for art that you can reuse for your project. You could use cereal boxes, dental floss, old newspapers, anything! Just make sure you have permission to use them.
Finally, each person should use these materials to make an artwork. See who can use them most creatively!
