Star Wars Camp: ART and ROLE PLAY INSPIRED BY THE STAR WARS STORIES.

Time:August 29-Sept 2, 2011 9am-1pm. If you pack a lunch, I will provide midmorning snacks. (So at 1, your kids will be strong with the force and they will be fed)

Place: We will do this at my house (for the specific address, email me at elscott20@yahoo.com)If we get some nice weather, then we will definitely meet at the GG park or some fun outdoor area. Stay tuned.

Price: (For all prices there is sliding scale and scholarships available etc.) $300-$250(sliding scale) for the week. If these prices are untenable, let’s talk.

I have two spots left, so if you know of interested parties, please forward this on.

* This camp is a combination visual art and beginning theater /improv. camp. Our entry point is Star Wars.

*For the role playing part, along with improv games and introduction to acting, we will get in a little yoga and meditation because, hey, there's a reason that Yoda sounds a lot like yoga...

*We will also discuss the ins and outs of working toward being a Jedi and using the force. And indeed there will be discussion of the Dark side and the million dollar question: Why did Anakin succomb to the dark Side.

*As to Why I have created this class/camp: I had let go of André being as passionate about visual art as I was. Then, I noticed because of his devotion and fascination in Star Wars, the stories, the look of all the ships, droids and jedi, that he started to draw, paint and explore visual expression voraciously. We would read a Star Wars book or watch the Ewok battle and immediately afterward, he would get a huge piece of paper out and start drawing. (My artist and mother’s heart did a happy dance.) Thus I wanted to include some other compatriots who enjoy these great stories.

IMPORTANT NOTE :

Starting Monday, September 12,2011

And the following Mondays for September &October

From 3:00-4:30pm

There will be a weekly STAR WARS Art & Role PLAY class.

The Jedi Council will convene at André’s house in the outer Richmond

Cost: (sliding scale)$20-$15 per class; series of Four Classes $72. Scholarships and Bartering available.

I hope to see you soon and

May the Force be With you.

Clean Slate Parenting 1 3/2/16 We begin. The art of clean slate parenting. The other day my son, André, who is nearly 10 years old, and I were talking about growth mindset vs fixed mindset. (Many thanks to Carol Dweck for her visionary book, “Mindset”.)  I asked if he felt like he had a fixed mindset for any of his subjects in school. Because, I told  him, I had a fixed mindset about other things (housekeeping, some yoga poses, zumba, earning money ) and I had a growth mindset about some things (parenting, sculpture, meditation, performing).  We agreed that some parts of our life are bathed in the light of growth mindset and that  some parts that were clamped down by a fixed mindset. If you have a growth mindset, you see failures as opportunities  to learn and grow as opposed to final judgments about your character. If you have a fixed mindset, when you fail you have proved to the world that you are a sham and not worth anything. ...
