How Students Create Their Artwork
Students begin by choosing a template and a background page. They color the pieces using bold colors, dots, and repeated patterns inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s style. After coloring, students carefully cut out the shapes, fold where needed to create a 3D effect, and glue the pieces onto the background so the artwork stands out.
They can follow the completed sample or mix colors, patterns, and templates to create their own original Kusama-inspired scene.
