Searching for just the right color

Sifting through the treasures in our collage bins, this young artist was interested in finding everything and anything pink!

As she moved around the table, she collected bits of paper, fabric,

tissue, mylar, and buttons that met her color requirements.

Often the other artists offered her pieces that they found, and

while still focusing on their own work, it became a group effort

to help her find just the right pieces for her art work.

 

 

 This social interaction occurs naturally during the creative process
and is an innate value of the art studio. Others observed her particular interest
 and the group discussed her process with each other. Working side by side in the studio,
young artists become comfortable and develop a sense of community.
