1st visit with St Francis house

I showed up at around 12 and went to go talk to Aaron about it being my first day. It was around lunch time and I talked to people while they were waiting in line to get food on what I wanted to initially do for the St. Francis house. I told people about my idea of creating a sculpture that embodies what St Francis is all about. I told them that I wanted to use materials such as recyclables or found items. Most people that I talked to about the sculpture I wanted them to participate with me on the sculpture. I wanted everyone's fingerprints on it, adding diversity to the project. Even though this is my first idea I talked to a few people outside playing chess, and they would enjoy doing spray paint. Most people that I tried talking to seemed distant but hopefully while doing this project it brings them in to participate in what ever I decide to do.

My 5th visit at the COA

-Today was my final visit to the COA memory enhancement class, and it was somewhat of a sad day. I got to develop relationships with the people there and it sucked knowing it was my last day.

-I got there at my normal time at around 12 and they were ready to eat lunch and they were eating baked ziti, Bruce offered  me some and it was phenomenal.

-After lunch it was time for cookies and coffee, and then followed by a walk.

-Once everyone got back from the walk it was time for me to do my art project with the group.

My project is a memory based questionnaire that is art related.

-I asked them 30+ questions for example.

1.) Did the Greeks or the Romans build the Colosseum?

2.) What Renaissance artist created the "David" sculpture in Florence Italy?

3.) What Foreign country gave the United States the Statue of Liberty as a gift of friendship?

4.) What Beatles artist/singer married the famous multimedia Japanese artist Yoko Ono?

5.) (True or False) Was Jackson Pollack considered an abstract artist?

6.) What colors does an artist need to mix to create the color orange?

7.) What post-impressionist painter created the landscape painting called the "The Starry Night?"

8.) What is the renowned artist first name, when his last name is Da Vinci?

9.) What is a painting, drawing, photograph of a person depicting only the face or head&shoulders called?

10.) What kind of emotions does Edvard Munch "The Scream" painting portray?

-I showed them pictures of the artwork if need be.

- What really shocked me was that they were engaged, participating, and that they enjoyed it. They wanted me to go back and continue this because of the fact that they were all so involved. I honestly wasn't expecting to have as good as a time as I did.
