This is one of the coolest/weirdest ideas for an art show! You take a classroom of school children and read a Winnie the Pooh storybook to them. Then, each kid gets assigned one page to illustrate, but without looking at the book. Then, that drawing, This one done by Grace:
is given to an artist, then they do a painting based on the drawing.
At the art show they are going to display my piece next to Grace's piece. Then the last step, the galleries proceeds get donated to the school.
My piece is titled "Weren't Together" becuase that's the reason that Christopher Robins is crying, he's imagining what it would be like if him and Pooh were no longer friends.
So, please come to the art show, help these kids, and enjoy all the interpretaions of cool kids' drawings.
The show starts this Tuesday June 20th at Gallery 1988 (Melrose and LA Brea)at 7PM. The show features 19 real artistsand me.
