Background on our
unique Add-Art
Our favorite children seem to get bored with coloring
books after a page or two. We're always finding ways to add
something special to a drawing. It makes the project a more exciting
experience. On our Add-Art pages we try to suggest something with
pizzazz! Like our children, we're inspired by contemporary and
traditional arts, mixed-media & various approaches to art including
collage & assemblage. Before you decide this sounds too
"artsy" -- wait! Read on....
"Assemblage" is perfect for kids.
According to Webster's, it is "a work of art produced by organizing or
composing into a unified whole a group of unrelated and often fragmentary or
discarded objects" -- perfect for kids & so cutting-edge.
BTW: "collage" is
"technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a surface various
materials not normally associated with one another, as newspaper clippings or
parts of photographs" & "mixed-media" is "artistic media
used in combination in a single work."
