Berkshire Museum Visit

Saturday I went to Pittsfield with some art colleagues to see the PaperWorks exhibit at the Berkshire Museum.  It was a fantastic show! It would be appropriate for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders; it is a nice day trip, made even more special because of the beautiful fall color.  The show runs through October 27th.
 This sculpture was created from book pages.
 We had to look very closely to determine that this book was folded, not cut, to create the word dream.
 This small butterfly was hand cut from one piece of paper.  Amazing!!
 Ocean creatures in silhouette - also hand cut.  This piece was about 20 feet long!
 This was my favorite piece from the show - an incredible collage that contains very interesting, roughly cut paper pieces.  From a distance it blends into a beautiful portrait, much in the same way an impressionist painting does.  LOVE!!

 Wow!
We were baffled by how the artist created these elegant, beautiful curves without ripping the paper.  Amazing!!
