A three dimensional hanging garden! Come to UCCA during the month of April to see Spring growing around us from all sides! The artist Jennifer Wen Ma has created a hanging garden that will come to life as the plants grow in their suspended habitat. We will use this garden as inspiration to create our own hanging garden mobiles using paint and other materials. Afterwards you can hang them in your homes.

Materials: paper, pencil, gauche paint, scissors, glue, string, hole puncher, and so on.

Skills: Through this workshop children will discover, discuss and interpret sculpture, painting and symmetry and interpret the artist’s work through their own eyes.

*All materials provided.

Sierra Forest, a native New Yorker, began teaching children and adolescents over 9 years ago. A certified teacher with an MA in Education, her cultural curiosity led her to pursue a career as an English teacher and enabled her to live and teach abroad.

She has taught in New York City and Madrid and now brings her love of children, education and culture to China. Aware that through art and design activities children can discover and explore history, literature, math and culture, she has always included projects and activities in her classroom that allow children to learn hands-on.

As a teacher in cities where creativity and art flourished around her, Sierra Forest began working with local and international artists who were interested in creating projects where children can engage and learn from the experience. You can see pictures and a video from her most recent project working alongside French artist Eltono here:
