Modern city moving into the future

Thanks for the Pizza!

Prehistory moving into pottery and coal mining

Yes, Dajah, there will be fruit!

Another week has gone by and I have to say that this is one driven group! They came prepared -toting along 3D objects for our mural wall. The toughest job I had was keeping the focus on the large areas before diving into the details! So... we painted, outlined, made "smog" clouds....built,  roof gardens, kilns and coal mines.

The ideas keep spinning and the energy is terrific. Oh yeah, we did talk briefly about our final reception... The big question is  "Can we have fruit?"

Corn and ponies getting ready to go

day into night over the rolling hills.

Fun continues...

The fun continues... Wow the river mural is really taking shape. It's been exciting working with a great group of teens that help inspire my imagination.  I find myself dreaming up new ideas all the time.  I'm really finding that being creative is fun.

Awesome program

This art program has been an awesome activity this summer.  I have made some new friends and I am having a blast helping to create an awesome interactive art creation that incorporates the monongahela river.  I am so glad I enrolled in this program.

Looking forward to observing the participants' creative journey, both online and in person!

Who are these folks???
