EDUCATION OMI  Saturday, November 3rd  Kids Art Workshop ________________________________

This Saturday, we will visit one of the longest sculptures in The Fields. Robert Grosvenor's Untitled, 1968 is a bright yellow form made of painted aluminum over steel. Just how long is it? We will work together to find a way to measure the sculpture from end to end!   Untitled, 1968 by Robert Grosvenor Back in the studio, we will learn about some of the world's most renowned chair designers: Charles & Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Le Corbusier, and the Italian trio, Gatti, Paolini & Teodoro. Look at examples of their designs and see how chairs can be like sculptures. We will take an online tour of "Destination Modern Art", MOMA's kid-friendly virtual gallery experience that will help us learn more about the art of chairs. Children will then design their own chair models using a variety of materials including wood, felt, paper, glue, and drawing tools.  Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini, and Franco Teodoro, designers of the Sacco chair (c.1968) ___________________________   Halloween Fun in The Fields... A record number of local families dressed up and ventured to Omi last Saturday to celebrate Halloween among the sculptures. Creative costumes, fresh-popped corn, camp-fire songs, and a shadow-puppet craft made the evening frightfully festive! Trick-or-treat bags brimmed with candy while children young and old took part in the evening's many activities.   GREAT COSTUMES! Special thanks to all of our volunteers who helped make the   event a big success!
