Mrs Bol is challenging the peo ple of Georgetown to come to the show to discuss their interprets tions The showings title is named after the mental process a person automatically goes through when viewing a piece of art According to Mrs Bol there is the initial in figuring out what the art represents and then the final acceptance of interpretation Mrs Bol who also teaches night courses at Sheridan College believes that while art is becoming more popular people still don t know how to fully appreciate it The inability to appreciate art stems from the lack of encourage to be creative and express oneself she said Everybody has some in themselves but it wasn t developed or they are afraid to express themselves Mrs maintains The difficult part of teaching art is not the technical process but rather making students feel com enough to follow their tistic instincts Techniques can be learned in a day or two but students have to stop worrying what others think she said She never tells her students what they should do but just encourages them and admires their work She believes everyone wants to open up and share their views but fear being judged negatively Children are especially sensitive to judgement she said adding that a child creativity and ability to think are affected by initial judgements Mrs Bol believes a child s creative instinct never develops in a school system that only allows 10 per cent creative activity Learn to think for oneself can only benefit in whatever professional a child chooses she said If Mrs communicates with at least one person through her art work she will call her showing a success She insists she is not look ing for the same interpretation or feeling from audiences that she had in creating her art Com munication that s all the artist wants she said WILLOW LANE Natural foods Willow ACTON THE CORPORATION OF THE Town of Halton Hills Hlls Drive Box HILLS Georgetown Ontario PUBLIC NOTICE TAKE NOTICE that Hie Council for the Corporation
