It’s been a wild week here at the Creators Workshop Art School as students from all over North Jersey joined us for a week of fun drawing in celebrating the art of Maurice Sendak and the Wild Things. We conducted our first workshop at the Pequannock Library on Wed, Oct. 7th drawing with 35 students. Every time I conduct these free drawing workshops I’m amazed at the talent and imagination of our young artists. On Thursday and Saturday we had well over fifty students at our school drawing away. As much as we try to make our workshops entertaining I do take pride that we instill a drawing exercise in  one. In our Wild Things workshop participants learned the skill of cross-hatching, a frequently used drawing technique by Maurice Sendak. This coming week “Where the wild things are” will open in theatres across the country. Although I’m sure this will be a hit at the box office, I urge parents to continue to explore the beautiful artwork of Maurice Sendak in his books as well. We thank all the wonderful young artists who shared their talents with us and look forward to out next free sell-out workshop!

Students hard at work drawing the Wild Things!

If you’re a fan of “Where the Wild Things Are”, then the Creators Workshop is the place to be on Oct. 8th, & 10th.

Participants will learn to; draw Max and his furry friends, learn Sendak’s unique drawing style, and then create “Wild Things” from their own imagination.
There are two dates available; Thursday, Oct. 8th 4-5 pm, or Saturday, Oct. 10th, 2-3 pm.

Joe!

Ends up our little she was a he and I’m glad to report he’s back home with his owners. I found Joe roaming the streets on Friday and after spending a day with me, his owners called Saturday night and picked him up. I am especially grateful to Margo Weiner who took Joe in from me on Saturday night. Margo is a true angel who cares for dozens of abandoned cats and dogs and treats them better than royalty. It was a privelege to see how she cares for these little critters who were abandoned, abused, and left for dead. Thanks again Margo, you’re the best.

Yesterday morning on the way to my studio I found this little Angel roaming the streets in the vicinity of Ratzer and Mayfair Road in Wayne. I decided to pick her up as she obviously didn’t know the rules of the road and would eventually be hit and possibly killed. No one has claimed her yet. She is a beautiful dog and as of today looks like she’s homeless. I’ll hold on to her for as long as possible and can make arrangements through Wayne FOWA to have her adopted if anyone is interested. She’s a wonderful companion, totally domesticated and housebroken. She’s an older dog, a very deep sleeper, and slow moving when she wakes up. Would hate to see her put in a shelter so spread the word, there’s an angel looking for a home! Call Mike at 973-720-0001 with any info.
