Don't ever think that you can't do art. Look what a tour of the store for local <a href="http://www.tempechristianpreschool.org/">Tempe Christian Preschool</a> turned into! We walked the store, shopped for our "ingredients" and then made our masterpiece. All it took was 30 minutes, 15 happy kids and the tiniest bit of guidance. We even managed to keep paint off our clothes.<br />

<a href="http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/sandra-neumann-wilderman.html">Sandra Wilderman</a> demonstrated her "poured watercolor" techniques today, to a very decent turnout, I might add. She encouraged her audience to participate in dipping the sheets in to tubs of water.<br />

Yes, she is related! She's our manager's mom. She owns <a href="http://www.gallery225az.com/" target="_blank">Gallery 225</a> and frequently supports <a href="http://www.savethefamily.org/" target="_blank">Save the Family</a>, an organization that emphasizes in care and aid to homeless families, especially those with children.<br />
<a href="http://bellastrada.com/" target="_blank">Bella Strada</a> is an event that also supports Save the Family. It was held this past weekend at San Tan Village in Gilbert (Williams Field Road and the 202). It is an Italian street painting festival in which artists use pastels and chalks that Marcy, the promotor, hopes to hold the every year around Easter time. The paintings are produced over a two or three day period and then washed away at the end of the third day. Wow!<br />
