Punching Tufts of Color

The marriage of dyed wool with carpet padding is inspiring.


Indian Corn Inspired Color Mixing

Students from the Davidson School, visiting Main Line Art Center, were amazed at how many beautiful colors they could create from the primaries.  Each color was mixed and applied to their giant corncobs.

Perceptive Adventures


Fourth grade students at Independence Charter School were asked the difference between "looking" and "seeing" as part of  An Objective Art Appreciation Program for Young People,  I am teaching for The Violette de Mazia Foundation.  

"The difference between looking and seeing is that you look at an art work but then you see the colors and shapes. So seeing means you're seeing even deeper than just a picture." -- Ruby

Students practiced their "seeing" skills to find the shapes and colors in pumpkins and gourds.
