I'm back!!!! and.......With Liz Sheehan's help, I am currently collaborating with Bo Lembo, Melinda, Kenya, and the gang at the Gately Center at the Peabody Middle School in Cambridge, and working some Thursday afternoons with youth who study, create, and collaborate there in the afternoons. We are working on drawings based on themes; these are some of the themes so far:
build a story based on words selected by a group vote which included a location, two actions, two characters
draw a sign for your neighborhood
draw a hybrid character based on an animal, person, object combination
lastweek, students made small books with cardboard covers and each page contained a letter from their first name
Next week, three students will go to the senior center near by to teach and work with them on themed drawings.
All of the drawings will be studied and reviewed, and we will decide how to create a zine, produce an exhibit, and maybe another public workshop somewhere in the community.
Images and more details to come.......smiles, Alex
