Creating more than art

The first day of our two week June class kicked off this Monday!

Artists began with mandalas to introduce themselves, telling

everyone their name and what kind of art they enjoyed creating.

 I noticed much of the remainder of the time was spent getting a

 feel for the studio as well as getting to know each other.

This young artist enjoyed building a complex structure with clay. He was very focused 

and engaged during his creation.

These builders worked together to create with blocks
a jail/dungeon for the tiger and dragon that
live at Art at the Center.

As different materials were introduced, artist explored familiar 

and new ways of creating, sharing with others as they painted, drew or built.

 The artists created works of art that reflect their observations and exploration,

 but also began to create relationships with others and the studio. 

We are excited to see these relationships develop over the next couple of weeks!
