I have a *moment* today that really highlighted one of the reason these art experiences are needed. A coworker who is 54 years old was going to decorate a little window in her office with those gel clingy window things. These are shaped like bunnies, Easter eggs, etc. I said: How should we arrange them? And she froze up. She 'You do it. I'm not creative at all.' I said everybody could be creative, but she said she could only copy things other people had created. I encouraged her to stick on some of the eggs and was (secretly) shocked to see how she struggled to do it. She was just so afraid of doing it "wrong" and kept criticizing how she was doing it and looking for my approval. I couldn't help but think about these art empowerment camps. Wow. I just said: There are no rules. :) We can put them wherever we want! etc. But this woman needed an art empowerment camp 45 years ago. Definitely. It got me wondering if I could do an art camp for 'kids' in their 50s, too... :) Had to share! P.S.
