Children’s Friend and Family Services Visit Montserrat
Children’s Friend and Family Services, of Salem, visited Montserrat College of Art last week as part of their Summer College Road Trip series! The Montserrat Gallery staff designed an informal learning experience for them in the gallery that involved conversation and building connections between the work and themselves. The students also spent time visiting with our artists-in-residence Nathan Miner in his studio and were introduced to some of the techniques and tools he was using. They learned how an airbrush worked and saw some of Nathan’s preliminary drawings/sketches. “The kids went on and on about how cool it was to actually meet a real life artist, and how the project was neat.” – Samantha Alves, LCSW, Director of Youth Mentoring Health Information Technology Resource Coordinator, Children’s Friend and Family Services, Inc.
