Program Description

Event Details

This project, inspired by Jeff Koons’ iconic Balloon Dog series, is just plain fun! Kids will create their own brightly colored balloon dog from a series of ovals by adding a few swipes of paint to give their dog the illusion of round, shiny form. And, since Koons’ colorful sculptures are large enough to be displayed outdoors, a whimsical cityscape is the perfect background for the collaged dog.  Ages 5-12
