We brought Vincent and Amelie with us to Art Class at the De Young this morning.
The docents took the kids through the African art exhibit, focusing on patterns, colors and shapes. Then the kids got to identify shapes ("bowties," concentric diamonds, stripes, triangles) on their own pattern sheets in the art room, using a permanent marker to create a pattern of their own onto broadcloth. They ground up brown clay for brown paint and some orange pastel for orange paint (adding drops of water).
Mick tagged along to study in the museum cafe, and afterwards we went out for crepes in the Haight. Celine's taking the picture, so too bad she's not in it.

De Young puts on some wonderful events for young and old. It's fun to see the intense concentration in the photos of artists at work. I like that you, Mick, can go along and get in some study time - that's good. Great to to see Vincent, Amalie and Celine with you folks. It's almost like you've made SOOOOOO MANY FRIENDS it's nearly impossible to befriend all of them. It's pretty obvious that friendships take time.
Lovingly,
Mom, JJJ, Grammy
