4 Leaf Clover, by Fiona, Age 6

I challenged to kids to help me with my sculptured paper project... and Fiona created this 4 leaf clover using the sculptured paper process.  Once I showed her how to do one leaf (create a heart in light green and then outline it with dark green paper) then she did the others herself.  She also added the stem, chose the background colors, and completed the project with little guidance.  Project time was 1 hour from start to finish.

In my mother's garden....  I am inspired to create something with this color!!!

Super Fiona, holding up the massive rock!

When news of the huge Rock being delivered to LACMA broke, the "Rock Watchers" lined the route, as if it were a big parade.  This massive piece of granite was being moved from where it was found in Riverside, California, to the Museum where it will become part of a new "Levitated mass" exhibit.

Just as impressive as the big hunk of rock, was the sheer size of the equipment being used to haul this oversized load.   And, as an artist, and an art teacher, I thought it was a great opportunity to teach my kids about how an art istallation, no matter how large, or how small, is a team effort.

We hope to go to the LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) very soon to see the final exhibit when it is open to the public.
