What do you see? I see colors popping, I see a carrot, a bird, another funnier looking bird, a tiny spider (not alive), a snake, a face with a big nose. I am smiling and giggling to myself. This is a whimsical sculpture, I can look under the painted table, walk around it, and sneak a peak in between to see even more. All these creatures are having fun and they have silly and goofy personalities. Do you have a member of your family that acts as one of these birds or another creature in this artwork? Do you wish your whole family was this ridiculous at times?
The sketch prompt is to draw one of your family members as a bird, carrot, or even a snake or create your own outlandish family. How are you going to depict the person's playful personality as the artist did in his sculpture?
Time to TALK. Many families are staying home more than usual because of the pandemic. We have readjusted our daily life. Our community has become smaller, tighter, we cling to each other, kind of like the objects and animals in the artwork. We keep laughing and smiling while holding on, maybe even standing on our heads. The artwork shows that nonsense is fun and reminds us our family is our community, our core, even if it’s a bit topsy-turvy at times.
