Camp

I'm not making any headway with my large painting as I was recruited by my daughter Anna to teach some city kids how to make a video at a camp described today in this article:

This is  quite a good article as it gives you some idea of the atmosphere at the camp.  I have had a little difficulty getting some of the kids to knuckle down and get to work.  They are good natured, for the most part, but sadly lacking in the ability to concentrate on the task at hand.  Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we are outside and it is summer.  Anyway they are making a video about the camp and I am making a video about the camp and they are also breaking up in groups of two to make a video of one minute in length.  It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.  Stay tuned.

I hope they learn something.  I sure am.
