We busted out the artistic skills to create new projects for the patrons at Dignity Diner! Past weeks have included painting, drawing and 'stained' glass. We used wood framed glass panels and covered them with glue and tissue paper to create the effect of stained glass. Patrons loved that they could mix colors and papers to create a layered look!
Of course, some of our artists are naturals at painting and drawing. Last night, we worked self-portraits in the style of Picasso. After folding a sheet of paper in half and drawing on both halves it was great to see the two sides come together as one image!
We are looking forward to an art show in the middle of October! Other projects in the pipeline include multi-media night, poetry night and a much anticipated pottery night. Soon we will have a visiting photographer come and explain the basics and hopefully get us started on our 'A Day in the Life..." project.
