The teacher workshop seemed very successful yesterday,  they had been enthusiastic while viewing and discussing the cubist works by Picasso, Rivera and others in the morning half.  They reported that they enjoyed learning more about the context, Paris, war, rivalries and etc., and that the addition of the human factor made the art more interesting to them.   After breaking for lunch, they did one of the art projects that we have planned for drop-in art during the opening of the new Cubist exhibition.  They seemed to get very absorbed in this and I think they thoroughly enjoyed the chance to make a little art!   The discussion afterwards indicated that they were thinking of ways to introduce this project into their curriculum.  All in all, I think the day was successful and enjoyed by all!
