Art Making at Jones Beach


Monday night was the perfect night to be at Jones Beach! About 200 of the ESP participants attended the BBQ and dancing (thanks Paul Rodriquez for wonderful music!). And some of us frolicked in the waves, flew kits on the beach - and even made art!! Here's one sampling that I personally was a part of. When we got back to our rooms - I was pleasantly surprised to find an email from Karen with a picture of our creation. Since I was in the Professional Development mode, and the week is all about digging deeper into our experiences - I took the picture and wondered:

Who is the artist? (the one who took the picture or the ones who made the sculpture?) hmmmm....

What is the title? (what would my friends that were involved say?)

and then I wondered how each of us would reflect on the experience.

So the next day I posed this to those involved - and the comments you see posted here are what they replied (I hadn't thought to do this as a blog at the time so I had to transcribe the paper notes and emails they sent me)

Would love to hear your comments as well - maybe you saw the process? What did you see from the outside? What more do you see here???
