Last week, Judy volunteered to teach self-portraits. Marco, from La Huerta, helped hold the mirrors so the kids could see their individual characteristics. Later,with his help, many of them continued exploring 3-D paper art (from recyclables). Some of the kids didn't leave till 1:00.
Other adults have promised to come and share their interests with the kids; Rusty (just a big kid himself, says Julie) to share his ideas for wacky characters, scorpions and such...and Katherine, who has a gift for making unique beaded jewelry... and Carol, who gathers humble natural objects like bones, feathers, and coconuts, and transforms them into art objects.
...and we have the Galeria just down the street - we took the kids on a gallery tour - so they could see there are many ways to express yourself. This village is so rich in resources - for artists of all ages.
