The Sleeping Tree

Hhmmm. We certainly had an interesting time at the Greater Reston Arts Center yesterday. The "Explore More" program gives children the opportunity to create their own artwork as they are inspired by the museum's latest exhibition. The children each get a bucket containing art supplies such as markers, crayons, glue, and modeling clay. The current exhibition is The Sleeping Tree, "a twenty-two foot dead dogwood tree inside the gallery where it stretches across the room as though asleep." Our supply buckets therefore also included leaves, twigs, and pinecones with which to create our masterpieces. Like I said, it was interesting. The girls seemed to have a lovely time, and Zoe really enjoyed talking to everyone. One of the nice ladies gave her a box in which to safely carry our sculpture to the car. Zoe is very proud of it.
