Visit One: GREAT IDEAS

Any one of us can have a great idea that could change the world. If our idea is something new that no one has done before, we call it an innovation.

An artist’s great idea might be a new way of looking at something, like Raymond Duchamp-Villon’s Large Horse, or a new kind of
artwork altogether, like Alexander Calder’s The Spider.

TRY THIS AT HOME: Collaborate to Innovate

You can collaborate (work together) with a friend or family member to create a unique work of art.
First, each of you should make a drawing, painting or sculpture without showing the other person what you are doing.
Next, show each other what you have made and think of ways that you can combine the ideas into one artwork.
Finally, work together to make a new artwork using both ideas!
