Art

I enjoy art.

One of my favorite memories from middle school was working with finger paints. I liked feeling my hands and fingers sliding over the paper to create a design.

In May I went to a birthday party at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. We got to walk around the museum after dinner. It was nice to see the art when the museum wasn’t crowded.

I worked with some friends years ago and we decorated gourds. I painted mine and added feathers and beads to the stem. Later this month I will be making my own mask. I am gathering items to decorate it with like stones, beads and ribbon.
