we will make art

the turugbasi arts camp 2012 students with teachers:  paulix, bidibidi, OsacnaB

as the art sessions and art exercises end, as the glitz and glamour of the arts exhibit opening settle right behind me, it feels big and brave to write down a list of goals under the heading ART.  

OsacnaB's nephews & neices admire the artworks

and next month comes with a gumption-filled heart, and i look at our students with wide eyes and see the biggest glimmer of hope!

i tend to dream big but live small.  it is not always everyday that i dream, but for each and every time hope shines, i dream.  and yesterday, during the exhibit opening, i was looking at hope like it was the recent occurrence of the supermoon!  bwahahaha!

the students:  ethan, chelsea, lance, aventhur, hannah, bimboy, moira, johann, monica, patricia, lui,(james & john not in the pic)

it feels brave and right, because i get a glimpse of a potential (well, make it a lot of potentials), and i dare to believe in the force that can do big things through me and one lovely person, of course.

but then, sometimes, things and people barge in, ruining all the good intentions.  and so sometimes i find myself settle.

it is also because there is fear in art.  but if i live to avoid the fear, i miss the art, too.

OsacnaB presented the goals and plans of burikbutikan artists collective for the young artists of baao & the rinconada area.

 there's always fear in me, but when the art institute dream emerged, fear is not the dark kind with big teeth.  the fear was big, but the art was bigger.

and i would not be anywhere else.  and of course, neither would you, right, one lovely person?  bwahahaha!!
