Learning, Sharing, Appreciating

For the past two months, I've grown close to people in my city through art.
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA) has a program every few months where a local Philly artist meets with Senior citizens and college students to create collaborative art projects.
I was proudly selected to participate in the Fall program.
The artist was Jennie Thwing, a stop motion artist who also teaches at Rowan University.
(Here are some of her videos: http://www.undergroundarthouse.com/ and http://vimeo.com/jenniethwing)
Together, with the seniors at the Philadelphia Senior Center, we created several videos about how our lives have changed.
It was a wonderful experience.
I am so grateful to have met these people.

Here's the video we made about how art taught me to appreciate and adore color:

Enjoy.
