In today's episode of This is Art Club! we’re learning how artists create a sense of Harmony and Unity in their work. But how harmonious can things be when you make a felt mouse for your muse, Pixie the Cat?!
Stream the show on RTÉ Player! And tune in Thursdays at 5.30pm to RTÉ2...
Press play up top to get a sneak peek of the show where Lily tells us how a Christmas gift of a felt making kit has inspired her to make lots of fun pieces.
Lily (11) from Waterford has a passion for felt as a material. She invited TIA Club! down to the Deise, so we went to see her work. Look at the process of felt making as Lily weaves a new mouse to add to her collection of animals. And she also has some great advice for beginners - mind your fingers!!
Also in the show
Artist Marie Denham joins us in studio to share her passion for shadow puppetry. It is considered one of the oldest forms of puppetry and is believed to have been created in China, during the Han Dynasty. Working alongside a group of young artists, they create their very own shadow puppet show – inspired by the fearsome pirate queen Granuaile.
In Co Donegal we meet with TIA! winners and students from Coláiste Ailigh to learn more about their art installation of papier-mâché monsters.
Ross is out and about on an art making adventure at Dublin’s South Wall where he and his art making buddies create a triptych drawing of Dublin Bay showing how colour choices can create harmony within an artwork.
And we visit TIA! winner Georgia who showcases her TIA! street art 'Stratford Fox’ entry. We learn how she created this mural in homage to the Stratford National School’s famous resident fox.
