East Village Art View

Founded by artist Julia Justo, East Village Art View is an inclusive exhibition space in a NYC apartment. It uses the traditional format of a gallery setting to mitigate and confront systemic problems of exclusiveness in the arts. It seeks to provide a platform for presentation of projects by overlooked and marginalized communities as well as to create dialogue between artists and audiences on a global stage.

Activity Breakdown:

Materials: white paper, cardstock (various colors), markers, pencils, scissors, glue.

Procedure:

• Let’s reflect on what makes each person unique and special.

• Ask students to think about their positive qualities.

• How would you describe yourself to a friend? What are you good at? What do you like about yourself?What are your superpowers?

• Ask students to think of five positive words that describe them (kind, funny, brave, helpful).

• The teacher can help students write their words if needed.

• Ask students to think about how visual elements can represent these ideas including color, shapes and facial expressions.

• Select a piece of cardstock for your background and write their five positive words on it.

• Next, students will sketch the profile of their face on a piece of white paper using pencil. Focus on simple shapes of the face

• Once the drawing is finished, students will cut out their sketch to create a stencil.

• Students place the stencil on a colored piece of paper and trace or cut around it to create their profile silhouette.

• Finally, students glue their colored profile silhouette onto the cardstock background with their positive words.

• Students may add additional colors, shapes, or patterns around their portrait to decorate their artwork.

Reflection: Students will be invited to share their work with the class. What makes you self-portrait unique and special? What colors, lines, or shapes did you choose and why? Which positive words describe you? What part of your artwork are you most proud of?

How to use collage to represent a place that feels like home.

Procedure:

• Think about what “home” means to you. Home is a space where you feel safe and welcome. It could be a private like a bedroom or house. It could be a public space or a community space.

• Where do you feel most comfortable or safe? What place feels important or meaningful to you?

• What makes that place feel like home?

• Think about multi-sensory experiences connected to this place. How does the place feel, what sounds do you hear there? What smells or memories do you associate with it?

• Students begin by sketching ideas of their special place using pencil.

• Use paper and colored tape to cut out shapes that represent elements of that space.

• Experiment with different textures by altering the surface of their cutouts by folding, cutting, bending or crushing paper to create dimension.

• Experiment with arranging shapes before gluing them down. Once they are satisfied with the composition, students will attach the shapes using tape or glue on cardstock to create a collage that represents their idea of home.

Reflection: Students will be invited to share their work with the class. What place did you choose to represent as home? What shapes, colors, or textures did you use to show that place? What memories or feelings are connected to your artwork?

How did you make your creative choices?.
