We visited Sue Silverstein and her young art brigades a couple of weeks ago. We brought her some white birch bark that fell off our old white birch tree, too.
Sue has a genius for turning discarded objects into art. When her students have finished their assignments, they are free to choose their own art.
Anyone who as discarded objects to send can do so: Sue Silverstein, 2502 State Route 22, Cambridge, N.Y. 12308.
I know Sue well enough to assume she would take the barks and use them to spark some art. She sent me this photo this morning, and one of her students decided to turn the bark into a beautiful Christmas tree.
The kids are having a creative and joyous Christmas thanks to you and your donations.
Sue also taught “Perspective,” ways to show and paint in multiple dimensions. Two of the perspective paintings are below:
Here, students are surely learning how to paint and to create perspective in their paintings. I love the color and imagination in these two.
Yay! We sent a big box of colored pencils and markers. I see they are going to good use. This makes Ken, who is an artist, very happy 🙂
Please thank Ken for me…Colored pencils and markers and paint and brushes are always in need..
You’re welcome. We’ve sent many boxes and will continue to support the Army of Good.
And, as Sue Silverstein would say.. You are truly a blessing, Jon. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Karen..
