I put my "teaching shoes" back on today. I spent the day at the YACA convention (Youth Art Council of America).When I was a teacher, I took my students to this convention. It is a wonderful organization. At the convention, the students compete in an art show, take workshops, complete art projects, attend a banquet and a dance, and have lots of fun. Today, I taught them to do colored pencil on canvas, using the Gamsol solvent.They caught on very quickly, and had some success with it. It was a fun day for me, away from the gallery, getting to spend time with young people with a passion for art,
and a desire to learn.
