OneHouse Arts presents “Eyes Can Feel,” a children’s art show exploring textures and patterns from wall to wall! [Venice, CA - October 9, 2023] — Feel your eyes dance across wall-to-wall worlds of line and shape evoking the fuzzy, the sticky, the gritty and the prickly. 200 young artists, ages 4 to 17, have challenged their pencils, markers and paintbrushes to spur our imaginations into feeling their favorite textures such as spongy and sticky. “Eyes Can Feel” will take place from Thursday, November 2nd, 2023, to Sunday, November 5th, 2023, at the Yiwei Gallery, located at 1350 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291. The gallery is open and free for viewing from 12pm to 5pm. No tickets or reservations are required. “Eyes Can Feel” will be the sixth exhibit in “100x30,” a series of children’s art shows featuring works that evolve from the exercises in the 30-lesson curriculum of Art & More. So far, these shows have explored color via paper parasols, landscape via painting and animation via stop motion films, all drawing from core concepts in OneHouse Arts’ teaching philosophy. These public exhibits, in partnership with galleries, businesses, museums and parks across Southern California, aim to provide platforms to celebrate children’s authentic creativity and contributions to the art world. OneHouse Arts is an experimental children’s art school dedicated to nurturing young artists’ spirits of active research, art experiment and self-expression in ways that support and celebrate their cognitive development from ages 4 to 17. The school has been building relationships between children and art since 2005, from classroom locations in Temple City, Rowland Heights, Monterey Park, Chino, Irvine, Rancho Cucamonga as well as over Zoom and YouTube. OneHouse Arts teachers follow a collaborative and compassionate philosophy, encouraging children to create art from their own particular imaginations and curiosities, refraining from giving them too many external ideas of what or how they should make. Students are directed to pay attention to the world around them. What do animals, plants and cars actually look like without already-imposed symbols, cartoons and images representing them? Training young artists to truly see for themselves provides a strong foundation for their developing aesthetic abilities and image communication skills. On top of this, OneHouse Arts aspires to create physically and emotionally safe spaces for children to experience authentic self-expression and generate confidence from within.
