OBJECTIFY YOURSELF // A Make With Meg Special Edition
We asked artist Megan Clark-Bagnall to create a Make With Meg Special Edition LIVE broadcast, inspired by the Meadow Arts Skin Deep exhibition by artist Oliver Jones.
Join Megan on her Make With Meg YouTube Channel. Grab your favourite craft items from around the house (there’s a list of materials you could use below), or rummage through the recycling bin for inspiration, and let Meg take you through the themes in Oliver’s work and feed you with Top Tips, for creating your very own artwork.
This special broadcast is designed for children aged 10+ and their families. It’s inspired by past and present themes around beauty, portraiture, social media and how we present ourselves… but it also recognises the TOP SECRET things we don’t want the world to see. We’re really excited to announce that artist Oliver Jones and the staff at Meadow Arts have sent Meg some TOP SECRET post, containing artistic secrets, that she is going to open and unveil during the broadcast.
Watch the broadcast on YouTube here.
You will need:
- Card x 2 pieces (roughly 21 x 28cm) – one cereal box will be fine for both pieces
- A magazine you like and are happy to cut up
- Selection of different papers to collage with (coloured papers, newspapers, fancy loo roll wrappings, tissue paper, wrapping paper, recycled paper, old envelopes)
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue (stick or PVA)
- A selection of palm-sized items that reflect you (hairbrush, games, art materials, toys)
- Your own fave materials (decorative bits, pens, paints etc..)
After Megan has taken you stage-by-stage through creating your own artwork, you can continue crafting to your heart’s content. Ride the creative wave, flesh out your masterpiece BUT don’t forget to share your finished creations with us using the hashtag #makewithmeg or e-mail it to us at images@meadowarts.org.
