We are running out of time!!!!
Laura, the education staff, and I did not want to push or rush the Teens group.
But, we have no time left!
Okay, I am pretty tired by the end of day, but I got myself energized and decided to say this to the Teens:
In the reality of Art as a Profession, most of the artists in any media do not have time. It's actually amazingly similar to what most students are dealing with at High School. For some reason, always we have less time than we ideally want. Also, if you are able to establish yourself in the art profession, you might be able to make enough money to hire assistant staff. Then you are able to focus on the production while staff looks for materials, prepares certain materials, and sometimes manages your other administrative or menial tasks.
So, Laura and I will be your assistants. You will focus on reading the drawings, understanding what you do understand and how, as well as what you did not understand and why. Then you will sketch the design of the booth. Ask for what you need as far as materials so that we can prepare them for you and you just keep making the works. Meanwhile I will let you know how much time we have left and where you are supposed to be.
Since I am a bit on the slow side pace-wise, I felt it was pretty hectic, but it turned out not to be so quick for the New York Teens. Laura later told me they enjoyed it a lot. Some students expressed that was fun in their emails. We actually took pictures each other. Some of the shots were by the Teens.
Grey fabric will be used for the Muslim mosque booth.
Reddish brown fabric is for the Hindu Temple.
But, shhhhh, the Teens have not heard which religions are which, and they won't know this until they meet the children at their organization.
