Art All State Worcester 2009

I had the pleasure of being an artist mentor at Art Allstate at the Worcester Art Museum this spring. Check out the great progression of creativity, with limited resources and time. The students were great and hard working and I enjoyed every minute.

Cultural Connection

Language Exchange - anyone want to translate to English?

PHOTOGRAMS

Thanks to the Sunprints, UC Berkeley, Learning to See in Mexico had the opportunity to expirement with basic photography without having a darkroom, we used the sun as our source of light with special blue paper.

(February 2009 photo)

During the past two weeks I have been teaching 5th grade students from Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, Maine at The Heartwood College of Art Artwood Bound Program. We are learning the basics of B&W photography, doing photograms in the darkroom, I also call them silhouette prints. They caught on quick, not only to the technique but they were very creative in their compositions and use of materials.

Thank you to sponsors!
