So square.

Collaborative Art 

 I was asked to put together an interactive collaborative  painting for a women's conference this Spring. The request was specifically for about 300 women being able to participate in the art two days in a row and have it go up for auction to raise money for One Touch Awakening (http://onetouchawakening.org/2013/02/sending-pillows-to-the-troops/ )pillows sent to a children's home in Thailand our church supports (https://lwmi.org/lwmi_childrenshome.html).

While this painting was truly collaborative work it took a great deal of preparation from me. I work through lots of nights with my nearly 1800 squares!

Art detectives!

In the old court house there is a really lovely free museum!  They often have kid friendly exhibits..they put together scavenger hunts for kids to complete.  My girls love it! They also have questions to ask about the art and we have conversations about their favorite piece. This artist was local and had lots of color! Very appealing to us. I'm grateful this fun activity is available to us.
