Lugnasa Hiroshima Moon
Rembrandt tour this morning with some developmentally disabled adults. These were severely disable folks, four responded with only token replies to questions, not out of shyness but out of lack of cognitive resources.
We concentrated on faces, seeing if any one was there. We also investigated the things Rembrandt did really well such as eyes, background, clothing, jewels, black. One young man, Kong, had a piece in the foot in the door show. He followed much of what went on, at some level.
We talked several times at Rembrandt self-portraits about Kong using a mirror to paint himself. I think he might try it.
It was a tough tour in some ways, but gratifying, too.
