A mother makes a quilt for her baby son. Of course, it’s no big deal, after all countless Moms across the world and across ages have done it.

But when that quilt becomes the beginning of an art movement, you know that we’re not talking of an ordinary Mom!

That’s right, we’re talking about Sonia Delaunay, an amazing woman and the first  living female artist to have an exhibition at the Louvre. Today we’re going to focus on this inspiring artist with some Sonia Delaunay Art Projects for Kids!

The quilt made by Delaunay

Sonia Delaunay was born Sarah Stern, to Ukrainian parents. She was then adopted by her uncle and aunt in Russia, and became Sonia Terk.

She  studied art in Germany and Paris, where she lived later and met her husband Robert Delaunay. The Delaunay couple were pioneers of Orphism, an art movement that was inspired by Cubism but involved bright colors.

Orphism, also known as simultanéisme, is also derived from Pointillism, where colors are placed next to each other, creating a different overall effect to the viewer’s eye. Let’s learn more about this wonderful artist through some fun art projects!

Sonia Delaunay’s work wasn’t limited to painting canvases, she was also a designer. Get the kids to experiment painting and cutting fabric too, for a change from paper. Show them pictures of her work and tell them the story of how a mother created art in a patchwork quilt for her son!
