Dive into the colorful and whimsical world of dots in this fun-filled kids’ art class inspired by Yayoi Kusama! Young artists will explore creativity through bold patterns, vibrant colors, and Kusama’s iconic polka dots. We’ll begin with a short, kid-friendly introduction to Yayoi Kusama’s journey and her love for dots, then move into hands-on artmaking. Students will create their own watercolor papers and transform them into imaginative dot collages. By the end of class, each child will leave with a one-of-a-kind dot-inspired artwork, a deeper appreciation for contemporary art, and the joyful reminder that there are no mistakes in art—just dots waiting to be discovered!
Meet your teacher:
Angela LeClair: Artist & Illustrator
A Tennessee native and graduate of the Art Institute of Atlanta, Angi now calls Montrose, Colorado, home, where she enjoys life with her husband and their three dogs. Nature is her sanctuary, and she treasures time spent hiking the trails with her furry companions—reminders to slow down and savor the beauty that surrounds us.
Art has always been Angi’s lifelong passion. She delights in illustrating children’s books and dreams of one day writing and illustrating her own. Angi is an avid learner and relishes sharing new experiences. She believes that life’s challenges feel lighter when we have something joyful to look forward to—and for her, art is that joy. Teaching is especially rewarding, as Angi views art not only as a way to connect and build community, but also as a transformative journey filled with endless possibilities.
