Mosaic Exhibit Ra’anana 2011

 

It’s a busy time of year but it’s worthwhile if u can to check out the latest Mosaic Exhibit in Park Ra’anana til Oct. 1st.

It’s interesting to see mosaics gravitating in Israel towards many 3D objects and statues. This woman is just an amazing example…not only is the sculpture something exceptional and realistic in and of itself but the mosaic itself is highly detailed utilizing hand made ceramic pieces. clip_image002Another amazing 3D sculpture gives a new anatomical view of pregnancy, but I’m sorry that photo got erased so you’ll have to see it for yourself if u can go to the exhibit.

I love it when artists mix it up and add unexpected elements…like this mosaic I call “New York, New York” which actually incorporates 3d elements like metal and wire, as well as clear glass for detailed pictures and the background effect using the texture and color of the colored glass works so well. clip_image004

There were more than a few paintings with only some sections mosaicked within an actually painting.

Another technique I haven’t seen used before is crushed glass as a tool to gain texture…a little bit sharp but very cool.clip_image006

Last but not least I loved these bicycles with the abstract background. The more you look the more you see. I love it when hidden things suddenly pop out at you!

Wow….life has been b”h so busy with the chaggim coming at us each and every second that I haven’t had a chance to upload all of the cool projects we’ve been producing. Check out GG's Walker and matching Wallet! To backtrack a bit we started out the year with duct tape. It’s the latest craze and I only have a few photos to share (as my camera wasn’t available when the projects were completed) of wallets made by the girls…young and young in spirit as well. As many of you know I teach art to the seniors of Gush Etzion and some of them decided that they would like to decorate their canes and walkers with duct tape too…pretty cool stuff! Candle Lighting Tray We didn’t have too many classes to finish our projects… so we then got started with choosing a project…either a mosaic/painted sign for the sukkah, for house or even for their rooms. Some girls made trays for lighting candles using clear glass and collaging underneath. There are many choices to be had at Creative Crafts and ...
