The Artist Yayoi Kusama is a contemporary artist, meaning she is still alive and making art today. She likes to use lots and lots of dots in her artwork. Learn more about the artist with this book: https://youtu.be/pbthcaz0oUk

Go grab a piece of paper, a pencil, and some crayons or markers. make a drawing of anything you want. A house? A person? An Animal? A Pumpkin? Once you have finished, pick a color and fill in the background with lots and lots of dots, just like Yayoi Kusama. Some dots can be small and some large, or they could all be the same size. Pick different colors and add more dots to the other shapes and objects in your drawing. What do you think? Do you like making artwork like Yayoi Kusama? Bring your artwork when we return to school and turn it in to Ms. Meredith.

If you’d like to see Yayoi Kusama’s artwork in person, and if your family has time, a special installation of her artwork called Infinity Mirrored Room will be at The Speed Art Museum in Louisville until Jan. 12.
