David Cadigan’s description of the young visitors to Schoodic
For those of us who are used to the magic of giving students the opportunity to have new experiences know how valuable they can be. David Cadigan has been one of the many volunteers who have worked several hours to continue making the Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium a reality. On Friday I received an email from David with a description of the scene at Schoodic when a bus load of children arrived in the middle of last week.
In David’s words…
Drawing Ahmed Karaly's "Gate No. 30"
“Yesterday a school bus load of 4th/5th graders arrived and was set loose on the site. It was glorious. Filled with high energy and excited yelling, they clambered all over the finished pieces, then with pad and pencil, chose one piece to draw. Then, the most fun part, they approached each artist with visible deference, queing up, to get their autograph. All of this pleased the artists hugely!”
