artist's way @mac: week 7

well, that went very well! i got a little teary & chilled at the end, even, with everyone talking about how much they'll miss the group. only the three core group tonight, too, which was disappointing mostly because the fourth said she would definitely come to the final class. the labyrinth was wildly popular, and though they had to take an elevator to get to it, the room was suffiently big and open, with enough natural light i didn't need the lights on at all, so i could keep it dimly lit with candles.
two unforseen labyrinth issues:
- the participants kept stopping to read the art bricks the candles were sitting on!
- i used a single orante kesler gothic initial for each of the small labyrinth gifts and they couldn't tell whose was whose, so the "create an artistic reponse based on the labyrinth gift" didn't happen quite as planned, but it all got straightened out.
and one forseen labyrinth issue i'll need to fix before the next one:
- the print is too small for older eyes in a darkened room. i'll need to learn how to play with the margins & bump up the type to get the "print two per page" option to come out more usefully.
sven came to help set up the labyrinth and then hung around the mac to help clean up afterwards. he's such a sweetheart! i took him to burgerville afterwards, where we debriefed about the class.
