Today we journeyed through the imaginary world of
Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. This fantasy book was written more than 50 years ago and it is still captivating! "How old do you think Harold is?" "How can this really happen?"These were some of the comments that the young students asked our leaders in art today. Phoebe Warner and Daniel Stone are interns from
Montserrat College of Art this summer. They are guiding through very creative and thoughtful literacy-based art lessons that the children in
The REAL Program are thoroughly enjoying.
The children got lost in their own worlds of drawing on the paper that we had taped to the walls to create our imaginary worlds. Some of them worked alone and many of them worked with the art students or with our veteran volunteers of Emily Geaney and Ashley Stiles. Below is Daniel working with his "allies" in the world of mustache wars. Anything is possible!
