Last week Doc was in all the high school Art classes every day. He was instructing and helping students create faces in clay. He brought a replica of his sculpture and explained what influenced him to start creating work. He also spoke on how he started creating and how his interest in art started. He shared a story about creating a plaster cast that needed to look like a dress boot for a cadet. The small sculpture was his next work which was inspired by a picture he saw in the newspaper.
Okeene Easter Egg hunt is Saturday, April 8 at 10:00 at the Okeene sports complex. We hope to see everyone there!
