Tomorrow begins week 6 of "Summer Workshops", or art camp at the Wizard of Art in Los Angeles. I am co-teaching with amazing Mekenzie for ten weeks, so we are half way done already! I can't believe it. It's been flying. (I will do a "Mekenzie post" later.)
Every Monday is a new set of kids. Well, sort of. Some take two weeks, some even take 3 or 4. Lucy, the 14 year old we are blessed to have (at the very bottom) for 4 weeks and she even helps with the little ones. We get 11 every week and we have been incredibly lucky with the kids this year. Very cool kids ... very inspiring. I will let them "speak" for themselves.
Maggie Artist, age 13
Salome Artist age 8
Russell Artist age 11
Lucy
Mabel
Lucy and Mabel Artists, printmakers, sisters, ages 5 and 8
Lucy Artist, age 14
