Around 4pm, several students from St. Ben's and St. John's came to help, including painting students and Art Majors from Rachel's Sophomore Topics class. I so appreciate their help - we accomplished a great deal, including blocking in the teacher figure on the far right, creating shadow for the kids on the merry-go-round, and touching up the swirls in the sky. It was a nice change of pace to be able to let most all of my volunteers take an assignment and run with it. Of course, questions would come up, but I didn't feel the need to walk the artists through step-by-step, as I had with other less experienced volunteers.
Members of CSBSJU's Project 8 (a student-run TV channel especially for students) also came around 4:30 to interview Mayuli and the Casa Guadalupe organizers, as well as Paul Hetland, Cold Spring's city administrator. They filmed us and photographed us a bit as we worked, and interviewed a few volunteer painters. They will be coming by tomorrow as well. It is very exciting for our story to be documented like this!
