During this workshop, you'll learn about her life and artistic vision, and how repetition, rhythm, and color can create movement and a sense of infinity in a painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003eWe'll begin with a fun \"Dot Lab\" where you'll experiment with a variety of tools to create circles of different sizes and discover how pattern changes the way we see. Then you'll design and paint your own original artwork inspired by Kusama's approach to color and repetition. Rather than copying an existing painting, you'll use these ideas to create something uniquely your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1450\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003eOptional:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bring a few small flat, round objects from home—such as bottle caps, marker caps, corks, sockets, or PVC fittings—to experiment with different dot sizes.
