Like Child's Play

I had a chance to work on painting with a bunch of  kids ranging from around 9 to 15 years old.  Painting was not part of the curriculum nor was art a particular interest for these kids.  They were participants because they were told to. They didn't have any say in this.  Nonetheless one always finds gems in the rough in any group.

There were a total of about 45 kids divided into 3 groups, and despite the fact that they were told in a step-by-step fashion as to what to paint, their own interpretations nonetheless came through.  Their innocence can be so endearing.
