Over-sized Coloring Books

August 31st we went to Schiller park with a 4x8 feet coloring surface. We brought 20 gallons of paint and a box of pastels. Unfortunately there were more dogs then kids at the park. So we were unable to finish the first panel and did not use the paint this time around. However it does not take many kids to make this art adventure a blast!

We choose to do this event at Schiller park to help raise awareness of the group show happening at ClaySpace. The next location we are scouting out for this event is the children's hospital park.I love this event because it's great way to interact with the kids. Most people are surprised to see us out there with a large art project and a huge tarp covered with paint cans. But the children know an opportunity when they see one and jump right in as soon as they get the green light from mom or dad. Even a few adults and teenagers had some fun with the over-sized coloring book.
This is the first of many panels that we are going to produce. Each one will be colored/painted on location together with an unsuspecting group of little artists.
