Field trip Vincent's class - Space Invader street artist exhibit

Space Invader art exhibition

Today I was a chaperone with 2 other parents and Vincent's teacher Clement for a museum field trip (sortie) into Paris.  The children were well behaved and the weather was warm and sunny.

atelier (workshop)
Meeting at Vincent's school, bus from Levallois into Paris to Musee en Herbe, a children's museum with visiting exhibits.  Art workshop first with wax crayons and blue paint, based on the Space Invader artist's work on a underwater sculpture in Cancun, Mexico.

Space Invader exhibition
Upstairs to the museum and the Space Invader exhibition.  He is a famous, anonymous, Parisian street artist - "Invader is the pseudonym of a French urban artist, born in 1969, whose work is modeled on the crude pixellation of 1970s–1980s 8-bit video games".  He has installations all over the world, even on the International Space Station.  Invader also creates art with Rubik's cube (yes, invented by a Hungarian!), which, photographs as a picture that you actually cannot see when you are standing in front of it!  The, bus back to Levallois and a picnic lunch in the park near school.

look at the map - you have probably seen his work on a wall or near a street sign - he's very famous!
