Virtual reality meets art for a totally immersive

Virtual reality meets art for a totally immersive experience! 📱🖼️⠀
⠀
Virtual reality isn’t anything new to the art scene, however over the last few months with many artists having to find new ways to create art, and museums and galleries looking for safe ways for people to experience their collections, there has been a rise in XR (Extended Reality) technology being used for art.⠀
⠀
Galleries like Modern Art Oxford have been showing exhibitions using specialist three-dimensional VR technology. The Serpentine Gallery in London has also recreated Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s giant floating barrels sculpture, The London Mastaba, using augmented reality.⠀
⠀
This merge between technology and art has meant that artists and curators alike are able to still share their work with the world, and create a similar interactive experience as they would seeing it first hand. ⠀
⠀
A fantastic way forward for the art world to ensure more people can have access to classic and modern art.⠀
⠀
This is a great article on XR and art: https://buff.ly/3fisFM7⠀

In the Studio Spotlight this week we have 2 artists:⠀
⠀
💜Eiji Watanabe⠀
&⠀
💙Kristi Malakoff⠀
⠀
💜A Butterfly's Eye View is a stunning room-size installation by Eiji Watanabe, made of paper butterflies cut from the pages of butterfly identification guide books. The work gives life to these seemingly trapped and organised butterflies, freeing them into the room.⠀
⠀
💙Canadian artist Kristi Malakoff creates the most wonderful large-scale and miniature installations using paper. She uses a range of paper media in her work such as stamps, money and wallpaper.⠀
This particular wall installation called 'Swarm' features hundreds of butterflies printed and cut from a transparent plastic paper. ⠀

📚🎨STORY TIME IN THE STUDIO - Our recommended

📚🎨STORY TIME IN THE STUDIO - Our recommended arty read for the kids this week is:⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle 🐛🍎🍊🍉🍏🍐🌽⠀
⠀
Ok so you might say...that's not an Art book, it's a preschool story book! Well actually most illustrated picture books serve as a great talking point for art. Instead of seeing them as 'just a story book' encourage your children to start looking deeper at the pictures - how they've been drawn or created (an artist's creative process), how they represent emotion or drama, the artist's unique style, the medium being used and the colour palette.⠀
⠀
Eric Carle was a fantastically talented collage artist. His vivid and colourful illustrations are created using painted tissue paper. Many adults and children alike have enjoyed his books at some point.⠀
⠀
This book is great way to introduce children to collage art and help children see how illustrations can be created without pencils or other 'drawing tools'⠀
⠀
Also this book is a great way to talk about change - our theme for Mindful Mini Makes Art Club this week.⠀

WEEK 6: EMBRACING CHANGE⠀
BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY 3D PAPERCRAFT 🐛⠀

Change is an inevitable and constant part of life, but we all know how hard it can be to cope with at times. Today’s paper-craft Mindful Mini Make looks at some amazing butterfly art installations, before going on to make a beautiful 3D butterfly which will serve as a reminder to ourselves and our Brush Friend to find the positive in change. Instead of fearing and resisting it, embrace it with open arms as you may just encounter something better.⠀

In the Studio Spotlight this week...As this week h

In the Studio Spotlight this week...As this week has been all about pointillism, we thought we'd share some modern pointillism work by the very talented James Cochran, aka Jimmy C, a street artist from Sheffield.⠀
⠀
Quoting Cochran he says; "His two interests in graffiti and oil painting converged, leading to the development of Cochran's signature aerosol pointillist style; portraits or urban landscapes painted entirely from dots and dashes of spray paint. This technique developed into what he called the 'drip paintings' and the 'scribble paintings', composed of layers of coloured drips or energetic lines to form vibrant and poetic cityscapes and portraits"⠀
⠀
His work, merging realism and urban street art, is just incredible - take a look at his instagram account to see more: @akajimmyc⠀

📚🎨STORY TIME IN THE STUDIO - Our recommended

📚🎨STORY TIME IN THE STUDIO - Our recommended read for the kiddies this week is:⠀
⠀
The Dot...by one of our favourite authors Peter H. Reynolds⠀
⠀
Another fab but thought-provoking story teaching children by Peter H.Reynolds, about the importance of just trying.⠀
⠀
The story features a little girl called Vashti who is convinced she can't draw. Her teacher tells her to "just make a mark and see where it takes you." Vashti stabs angrily at the paper with her brush and makes a dot mark. To her surprise her teacher makes her sign it and the next day she finds it hanging in a gold frame. Vashti decides from that moment on she can create much better dots than that one, and sets about filling an entire gallery full of her dot art.⠀
⠀
Perfectionism and the insecurity of something not always being 'right' can stop anyone from giving something a try, especially in art. Art is definitely not about getting it 'perfect' - it is simply about creative expression but it has to start by taking that first step. This is a great book for kids who struggle with confidence and self-doubt.⠀
⠀

In this week’s Studio Spotlight we feature contemporary Kurdish Artist Tishk Barzanji. An illustrator who creates beautiful art inspired by surrealism and how spaces are used in modern architecture.🎨🖌️⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
This week in the Studio has been all about perspective - both in the sense of how objects relate to each other and 'one's perpective' or point of view. We wanted to show off this talented artist because he perfectly captures both in his work.⠀
⠀⠀
Tishk's work carefully combines space, colour theory and architecture to deconstruct and break boundaries. ⠀
⠀
He says;⠀
⠀
“I’m fascinated by how people live, how they communicate, and the way architecture leads the way we use space. Surrealism helps to connect my ideas and to show a glimpse of my imagination”⠀
⠀
Read this brilliant interview with Tishk to find out more about him and his work:⠀

📚Our recommended ARTY read this week: ''They All Saw a Cat'' by Brendan Wenzel⠀
⠀⠀⠀
This beautifully illustrated children’s book is a simple, but clever celebration of how perspective shapes what we see, and what we experience. The book features lot’s of different animals who all see a cat but in different ways, allowing little readers to experience 'the cat' through different eyes and emotions.⠀
⠀
It’s a fab bedtime read and a great way to introduce empathy and discuss in simple terms how people have different perspectives⠀
⠀
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⠀⠀⠀

1.⠀
the art of representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.⠀
⠀
2.⠀
a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something; a point of view.⠀
