The Mountains in Mazandaran Province influenced many of the students and were a common theme in the paintings.

Color and use of supply demonstration for the students.
I posted the above photographs to remember our day at the workshop. I don't have any new photographs. I think I'm done taking photos for a while!
I went to Ali's place this morning and we spent the entire day archiving the paintings. First, we looked through each and everyone of them. We had over 150 pieces of artwork, done by students ranging in age from two to sixty. We read each story that was attached to the artwork, and we made sure we had the names and ages correctly written on each one. Then we arranged them by age: 2-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-15, 16-19, 20 and up. After we grouped them, we took a picture of each one. Then we chose eleven pieces of Mokarrameh's work for me to exhibit with the student's work at Teachers College.
Meanwhile, Aida cooked us lunch. Since she is from Rasht, another province by the Caspian Sea, she cooks a lot of vegetarian meals. Rasht is known for its healthy and vegetarian cuisine. We worked for seven hours and then I took all the selected artwork and came home. Later on, Ali, Aida, Morteza, and his wife, Somayeh, came over for dinner. We had a good time talking about future plans.
