Summer Art 4 Kids Internship
As an artist’s assistant, this will be AMS’ first real job! She will be assisting Anna (Anna’s Art Workshop) in her children’s art workshop. Her duties will include helping the artist and helping to manage the younger kids attending the workshop. What a great experience!

Today’s theme was trains. No girls came. First I helped paint wooden trains. I got a lot of paint on my hands wiping off paintbrushes. I had to fill up the paint canisters and help the kids chang colors
Then I helped make paper trains covered in stickers and filled with popcorn. I also attached bells to the trains that the kids made.
After break, I helped a boy named Watt make train tracks. He was the youngest there so he was a really messy drawer. I also helped glue on bridges and tunnels with a hot glue gun on all the boys’ train tracks.
At the end, I got paid $15. That’s a lot of money. Anna, the art teacher said she’d let me know if there were going to be any other camps I could help with. I liked my first job.
Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces of the Musée d’Orsay @ deYoung Museum
July 17, 2010
They voted “The Magpie”, by Monet, as their favorite and wondered what all the fuss was about with “Whistler’s Mother”, but they kept returning again and again to their favorites and eventually emerged from the exhibit with a deeper appreciation for the ” Impressionists”.
The last time “Whistler’s Mother” was in San Francisco was in 1933. There’s a good chance they’ll never see it again, unless they visit in Paris at the Musée d’Orsay…

Visiting With John Babcock, Artist/Papermaker/Mentor
June 7, 2009
My dad and I visited John Babcock at his studio in the Santa Cruz mountains. He hasn’t seen me since I was a two-month old baby. I learned a lot of new things about paper making like the kozo pulp and how to use a bamboo mesh screen. Also I learned about special machine that paper-makers use to make pulp called a Hollander beater. They’re kind of like bath-tub shaped blenders.
I showed John samples of paper I’d made – he thought I’d done a great job and hoped I’d take one of his workshops in paper-making.
