This is the second to last week at the Meadows Museum.  This week is a full one and I'm glad to say that we've had good response to our drop-in art.  Tomorrow is story-telling and I think we will be busier and will have to work efficiently to allow everyone to have a chance to participate in the very popular print-making aspect of the project.  Of course, we've had mostly children participate, but it has been great to see some adults get enthusiastically involved!  Adults are hesitant to participate.  They either lack self-confidence, believing they are not artistic, or are out of practice (something I've felt myself) or believe that the art making is for kids only.  The transformation in confidence and attitude is great to see.  Importantly, parents/guardians/grandparents who get involved learn or renew skills and go home and create an environment that encourages children to create art--a good thing for everyone involved!  Friday we will be able to see how the re-connections participants react and interact to story-telling in the gallery.  Hopefully they not only enjoy it but also are opened up to the idea of looking at and appreciating Cubist artworks.  I hope to continue contact with the Meadows and hopefully with the wonderful people I've met there.  I'm extremely grateful for having had this opportunity.
