In February we turn our Alive In All Seasons focus to art
and invite you to awaken your passion with us. Leo Tolstoy defines the activity
of art as “To evoke in oneself a feeling one has experienced, and... then, by
means of movements, lines, colors, sounds or forms expressed in words, so to
transmit that feeling.”
This month we will transmit our feelings using many
different mediums to let other share in our experiences, feelings and passions.
We will travel through art around the world and experience art as it is meant
to be – inspirational and transformative. We will feel the cool breeze and
smell the fragrant blossoms of Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France as we gaze
upon In the Garden and the Water Lilies series. We will feel the angst of
Vincent Van Gogh as we admire his passionate works such as Vase with Twelve
Sunflowers and The Starry Night. We will also pour our passion into our own
creations evoking memories of the past to share with the future.
Please join us on this journey as we visit local art museums
and create our own art through weekly craft programs. Celebrate with us as we
recognize Valentine’s Day with sweets for the sweet and Fat Tuesday foods and
fun at our Mardi Gras party.
