On the heels of their field trip to Pipilotti Rist’s exhibition at Hauser & Wirth last month, students set out to make their own works inspired by the daring Swiss artist.Â
During the visit to the exhibition, students were captivated by the vibrant array of materials and colorful, diverse media.Â
In response, students incorporated glitter and shiny paper into their artworks to capture the viewer’s eye.Â
Two students crafted impressive and strikingly realistic fruit stands.
Another student used varying layers of glitter to create a shiny blue painting.
Others created a stunning garden inspired by the flora and fauna of Rist’s exhibition.Â
Glitter was the name of the game, especially in this charming portrait!
