Damien Hirst for Kids!

Damien Hirst's spot paintings are great creations to show your kids. They inspire them to work with the simple colored dot stickers in a more thought out way, making a whole creation just using these stickers.
Below are two examples of Hirst's spot paintings I printed out (he- and/or his assistants did more than 1500 of them). They range from tiny to huge. I showed the kids the painting with a woman standing next to it so they could understand the scale.





We had different approaches to the dots-project.
A symmetrical approach.


One that worked with the stickers in a three dimensional way.


A free style approach.


At the end of the session I gave the kids the surprise scratch paper.




And here some more photos of the warm up at the beginning of the session: drawing monsters and telling stories.
