Stephanie Krause, Teaching Artist - The Art Playspace Fostering creativity, playfulness and joy in artmaking for ages 4+! Also maker/seller of art things!

What a joyful week in my artist residency in Mississippi! Even the tornado warning (terrifying for this NE gal) couldn't dampen the experience. https://www.facebook.com/100063691534857/posts/643139287819117/?app=fbl

More fun in Mistakes class... there are so many ways this project could have gone. Here is where it went. :)

I invite you to play my newly-invented game, Rabbit in a Hat! The kids and I were playing all night... It's kind of like 20 questions, except the thing you think of always has to be an animal wearing something, either an accessory or an item of clothing. You use your questions to figure out what the animal is, and what it's wearing. It's extremely entertaining 😆 If you end up playing around and want to sketch what you were picturing, I'd love to see it!

Even if you don't end up playing with anybody, I'd love to Hear what animal wearing something springs to mind for you :)

"Some Bread Saw," pen & ink & collage, 2019. This will be hanging in gallery 199 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art between June 6-19 as part of their employee show (open to the public for the first time ever)! Check out the details here:
https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2022/art-work-artists-working-at-the-met

I highly recommend going to check out the whole show (and if you see my picture - send me a pic of you in front of it! I want in-the-wild sightings!). The caliber of work in prior years has always been awesome - there are some VERY talented artists working at The Met!

I am tickled pink that people can wander in and see my art hanging on the wall there. I wonder what people will think when they see it - it makes me laugh. Naturally :)

What do YOU think the bread saw??

All 3 of these were from the same creative prompt in mistakes class (the kids had as much fun as I did, but I didn't get pictures of any of their stuff, boo).

I love all 3 of these and can't figure out how to make them fit full size if I post more than one at a time, so you get snippets!

I'll be offering this kind of class for adults soon. I think adults need this even more than kids! There is nothing like the unfettered joy of creativity... and getting back in touch with that if you haven't accessed it for a while.

100 day project, day 5! Spontaneous book, completely unplanned, 10-minute silliness.

100 day project, Day 5 Spontaneous book*. 10 minutes. *As in, completely unplanned. When I picked up my marker I thought, "dog on the porch." This was the result.

Doing the 100-day project. Here's a video of me doing my drawing for Day 3. (Hint - it's not the hand. I draw on top of the hand)

* P R O C E S S I O N* I'm doing the 100-day project. This is day 3. I don't have a clear focus right now and I'm ok with that - my goal, until it clarifies, is to make at least one thing each day outside of classes. According to those parameters, this is a slight cheat - I am starting with a demo from a class (the hand - modified blind contour) and drawing on top of it. But that's ok. I had nothing in mind when I picked up my pen. This just happened. ALL HAIL THE BIRDS
