Folk Art In American Life
Aug/100
Good things to do in Seattle first week in March?
A friend and I are going to Seattle for a day, any suggestions? We are interested in folk art, Asian, and Native American culture. Not really into night life, bars, clubs, etc. We plan to visit Chinatown, Pike’s Place, and the Asian museum. Anyone familiar with Seattle have any additional suggestions? Thanks –
Pike’s Place is a must… it’s very Seattle. A trip up the Space Needle may be kind of spendy, but the view is worth the cost. The Seattle Art Museum is pretty cool, and I think you’d enjoy it. If you can arrange it, you might want to take a ferry to Tillicum Village (google it). If you’re interested in Native American history is an ideal place to visit and is only an hour ferry ride away. Also, the Ferry Terminal isn’t far from Chinatown, so that would be a good fit. You’d enjoy going to the top of the Smith Tower. It’s viewing room is very asian inspired. have a wonderful time!

American Folk Art for Kids $10.54 Drawing on the natural folk art tendencies of children, who love to collect buttons, bottle caps, shells, and Popsicle sticks to create beautiful, imperfect art, this activity guide teaches kids about the history of this organic art and offers inspiration for them to create their own masterpieces. The full breadth of American folk art is surveyed, including painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and textiles from the 17th century through today. Making bubblegum wrapper chains, rag dolls, bottle cap sculptures, decoupage boxes, and folk paintings are just a few of the activities designed to bring out the artist in every child. Along the way kids learn about the lives of Americans throughout history and their casual relationships to everyday art as they cut stencils, sew needlepoint samplers, draw calligraphy birds, and design quilts. Important folk artists such as the last surviving Shakers, the legendary Grandma Moses, and the Reverend Howard Finster are also explored in sidebars throughout the book. |
