Susan Volluci introduced a new group of artists to her second class today. We now have about 40 students in the project. We began by showing them the test boots painted by the mentoring artist. Then gave them the templates to begin work on their designs.Again, we were startled by the enthusiasm of the students. There is a different dynamic to painting an object that they will keep (and likely wear) rather than a traditional surface such as paper or canvas. The beginning of the process, however, is to test ideas on a more disposable surface with guidlines to simulate the pattern of the cut leather formed into a boot.

It was a real pleasure meeting the Central Falls H.S. students involved in this project and their teacher Ms. Volucci. The art classroom was filled with creative energy. I look forward to participating in the growth of this project.
