Teaching away from the studio with ArtReach, Rare Hare has the opportunity of working with kids all over San Diego. On this day we were at Onienta School in Imperial Beach, helping students to make ArtReach’s signature project, The Dream Quilt using oil pastels.

In this Jackson Pollock Jr. class, we explored melted crayon art. Mom assist her 4-year-old son with the crayons, but the design is all his. The beauty of Jackson Pollock Jr. is that kids can discover new types of media they would otherwise not get a chance to use; parents assist as needed, or just stay close by and watch. Besides experiencing new types of art, this class is special because the parent and child work collaboratively; a chance for the parent and child to share the process and just BE TOGETHER, spending time with one another.

This young lady is proud of her weaving. We used reclaimed yarn and wrapped it around sticks; something so simple, yet full of color and texture. It was fun to watch Mom and daugther dance around each other as they took turns wrapping the yarn around the stick. Jackson Pollock Jr. is for ages 3-6 and is held once a month.

Recent Projects Using Recycled Materials

This lovely lady evolved from a found palm frond, a curtain rod loop, wooden beads, and raffia. Her mouth, a slight scratch in the frond, was already there.

Using a laundry soap bottle, reclaimed foam scraps, poker chips, and vegetable netting, this fish comes from a sea of recycled materials.

Students at Aseltine School worked with Rare Hare Studio to create an ocean of fish made from scrap materials and was featured at the school's arts festival.

This young lady attended a Frida Kahlo birthday party and made her own unique version of Frida by collaging reclaimed yarn, fabric, satin flowers and beads. Guests then made a big bead necklace in the style that Frida used to wear.

Abstract Sculpture

Using different sizes of wire, wood and other reclaimed scraps we created sculptures; we wrestled with the wire, and tangled with floating shapes, observing the scultpures and mobiles of Calder and Miro. With a lot of coiling and wrapping, and threading, our sculptures began to take shape; as we found creating 3-D forms with wire involves balance, patience and practice.

These student pieces and other projects will be on display in the studio for “Art Around Adams” coming up on Saturday June 7th, 2008. This open studio event will feature recent student and studio work as well as host a mini-art project.
