Description

MCASD presents the work of American sculptor Beverly Pepper at Westfield UTC & invites you to make your own sculptures with these art kits! MCASD invites you to enjoy another ArtLab: Take-Home Edition, an artmaking experience for the whole family to enjoy at home. In this project, you will look closely at Severio Column (1978) by Beverly Pepper. When we say closely, we mean zoom in. Beverly Pepper (1922–2020) was a prolific American artist known for her monumental sculptures, land art, and site-specific installations. She remained independent from any particular art movement, experimental in her practice, and created work out of unique materials such as a sheet of metal, trunks of trees, and industrial debrief. From the 1960s to the 1990s, Beverly Pepper created a series of columns that draw upon imagery of tools and civic monuments, giving life to unique slender towering stacks. Now it is your turn to create your amazing artwork. Using tinted wood, you can recreate the appearance of rusted metal. Inspired by Beverly Pepper’s, we will experiment with markers, water, and wood. Don’t worry if you don’t have the same materials--have fun, and be creative with your substitutes! Once completed, you can share it with us via social media or MCASD React. Pick-up will be located in Palm Plaza, near Warby Parker. This program is free and recommended for families with children ages five and older.
