Second Thursday group for June!
Tonight I came up with our group activity -- a tribute to an artist who I became familiar with on Facebook...from England, John McKie. In particular, our inspiration was some of John's creature drawings with cardboard frames. I asked our members to create a creature and name it and incorporate the name (or phrase if they preferred) in the design of their cardboard frames. We used Sharpie markers of various widths and colors to make our creatures on cardstock and then used pieces of corrugated cardboard that were destined for the recycle bin.
While we didn't exactly match John McKie's style or wit, we did come up with some designs that really represent each of us and -- most importantly -- we had a really good time doing it!
