Art and the Senses with the High School Docent Program of the National Museum of Contemporary Art of Korea
(Seoul)—Last Saturday, a group of high school students from the docent program of the National Museum of Contemporary Art of Korea made their way over to the Changdong Art Studio for a talk and workshop with me and fellow artist-in-residence, Karolina Bregula.

After I made the students go on a scavenger hunt in my studio, we had homemade kimbap and tteokbokki for lunch. Then, I facilitated short workshops on drawing what they see in clouds, assigning colors to memories, and a blind smell test to dig through their memories.
There are few days when I think having a group of teenagers go through my room is a good idea. This was one of them. Such bright young ladies!
Drawing cloud interpretations
A wall of clouds!
Connecting color and memory
A smell test
For the color workshop, I thought the work of this student who matched color with pop culture was spot on:
Colors as pop culture references
I also loved this color palette of memories by another student:
Color and memories of places
Oh, and some used The Hug Vest as well.
The Hug Vest lives!
Post-workshop cleanup wearing an apron. Ms. Cho and her assistant spent hours making tteokbokki for all of us. And it was great!
All in all, a lovely and inspiring day with such intelligent women, who will soon be off to university.
With thanks to Ms. Sung-hee Cho of the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea, and the staff of the National Art Studio of Korea, Changdong. Also huge thanks to Ashlee Seo Hyung Lee, who translated for me during the day.
