Zombies, Giant Scorpions and Princess Sunsets


I taught my first workshop at the Roswell Museum and Art Center this week. I only had three students, but we had a lot of fun making miniature landscapes inside of shoeboxes. The kids worked really hard and were incredibly imaginative. Lucas made a Western scene with red mountains, red dirt and vegetarian zombies that ate from cherry trees and then escaped into time portals. Joseph made a scene of his backyard where he and his brother defended their house (with a shotgun and pistol) from a giant scorpion. McKenna made a grassy hill where she and her best friend could enjoy the sunset or a fuzzy television from their bejeweled park bench. I earned a thank-you letter and a pipe-cleaner komodo dragon from Joseph! I'll be teaching something similar again in the fall.
