Yesterday I took this group of young artists, from Paseo Academy, to STRETCH’S studio, where he harrangued them for an hour about sculpting in metal, what it takes, what he puts into it, what he gets back.  I think one or two will serve apprenticeships with him. 

Afterward, I took them to lunch at the Rozelle Court at the Nelson-Atkins.  Man, can they pack the food away.  Punks ate everything they could get their hands on.  Well, that’s why I took them.

After lunch we went up on the balcony to look at the smaller Moores, and throw coins in the fountain below.  Two of the kids hit some art ladies in the head with their coins, but I considered that performance art, so it was fine by me.
