Last Thursday, a bunch of friends and I spent a few fun hours in Shannon's studio. None of us really had an idea what we wanted to do other than to play with art. Although game about the adventure, a few of us were wary about the whole idea. I, for instance, have been chipping away at my fear of art ever since my first grade teacher told me, "Susie, draw your cows on the ground." An afternoon with Shannon put a lot of my apprehension in the trash bag. If you'd like to see what I ended up creating, you can view it here at Don't Be a Hippie.
