At our June Creativity Central session, we had a great time painting an under-water themed canvas as the starting background of our next masterpiece. Joanie arrived first and gave everyone a running start with her beautiful fish, which was a lovely beginning. Then, as people arrived, everyone joined in, making this truly a group project. As background, before the Creativity Central session, Nicole draws the outlines and pre-mixes a set of colors, and then everyone paints all over the entire canvas - we all share colors, working the same sections - it's a beautiful sharing experience and a moment of pure collective creativity. The music plays, the Cancer Center has beautiful dappled light at that time of day in the Summer, and everything is peaceful and yet alive with creative energy. We laugh, we share, we learn, and we create.
Following are the photos of this stage of our project. For our next session, here's a secret - we might, if he is available, be joined at our next Creativity Central session (Tuesday July 31) once again by Dr. Kafka, who will treat us with more musical making magic while we craft some fun 3 D creations to add to our underwater masterpiece! Hope to see you then!
