Making Art Inspired By Great Artists: “Channeling” Louise Nevelson

December 11, 2024 By Debra Disman

It was great fun to work with my girrrrlll power (my moniker) CREST Santa Monica Malibu School District after school programming students for our last meeting of our “Making Art Inspired By Great Artists” class, inspired by extraordinary artist Louise Nevelson.

The girrrllls (from grades 1-5!) used a variety of scrap and other wood object and pieces to create their own sculptural constructions using wood glue. They became designers, planners, builders, engineer and of course, artists and sculptors. Very inspiring!
