Have you ever been in a blanket fort? Isn’t it cool that a few blankets and bed sheets can totally change how a space feels? Some artists today make large artworks using different materials to transform spaces. This is sometimes called “installation art.” Join us in Playful Spaces and explore how everyday materials such as yarn, cardboard, or tape can transform a space through art!
