Just to prove that we ARE a destination-and an International destination at that: my friends, the Turkish cartoonists, ran into another couple visiting from Turkey. The jury is in, and our visitors, young and old, are enjoying the challenge of using the characters to make their own art and stories. His wife was a little hesitant, but she did pick up the pencil. He might have been able to draw the characters free hand-but he drew a perfect one from the model. The education room was full on the Monday after Christmas-but I still lured my Turkish cartoonist guest into the room to try the light table. Soon she was drawing a complete story to take home. This girl wasn’t sure she wanted to try drawing. How would people know what to focus on, what to choose to copy? I was excited to see the finished product -above- but I have to say that I thought it was too busy. We had discussed various characters and props we would use, and the artwork came from the Creative Associates studio. ![]() The exhibition, “Good Grief, Charlie Brown,” (October 2018) had a very clever hands-on activity at the end, which allowed visitors to trace characters and essentially draw their own comic strip. What I had envisioned was a light table I remembered from an exhibition in London several years ago. When Gina Huntsinger, Schulz Museum Director, told me that the ‘light boxes’ for the Education Room, a plan we had talked about for a couple of years, were almost ready downstairs in the workshop, I was eager to see them. ![]()
