Amazing level of creativity displayed in this wonderful example of storytelling. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting David. I would so enjoy being in the room while Kseniya creates!
Yes, truly amazing. I saw an earlier performance by this artist that did not show the artist at all, just the images transforming before my eyes. This one was very compelling………. and I enjoyed seeing the artist during the perfomance.
I think we should find out where she is performing next and take a field trip, what do you say Kal?
One of the most amazing works of art I have ever seen. The work reminds me of Matisse, Kollwitz and so many others, yet remains so unique and beautiful. Simply amazing.
Thanks for your comment Lisa! We never know when an amazing artist will be sitting in a classroom, yet every student deserves the opportunity!
wow, this is really powerful.
Wow! Incredibly powerful, and an amazing example of using music, art and story-telling. I think I will show this to some of my students.
Great idea Deb! Thanks for your comment.
