The da Vinci School Art Project was an exciting way to create art with kids while having lots of fun. This was their first art project involving animals made out of recycled cardboard.
Each child created their own animal first on paper thru drawing then in a 3 dimensional version using recycled cardboard. I held several workshops during school over the course of a month.
The school then invited the students family and friends for an art opening showcasing their finished pieces. These children are amazingly creative. Check out their finished works here.

This past week I held a cardboard art making workshop at Northwestern University. Thanks to Martha Heimberg, I was able to share my methods of making recycled cardboard art with her students.Here are some photos taken that day. Feel free to share them with your friends. It was a great experience and I look forward to more in the future.

Working with corrugated cardboard and concrete respectively, both artists’ talent for transforming everyday materials into intriguing artworks is apparent in Golzad’s ability to show human vulnerability in the faces of his subjects, and in the subtle depth of Brightwell’s abtracts.
