Creation: 3 Women Making Art -- IN PROGRESS

 

THE VIDEO: Creation is about three women in their sixties who’ve devoted their entire adult lives to making art. They show us what they do and how they do it.

 

Lana Wilson is a mother and grandmother who has used her seemingly boundless energy to become a well known ceramic artist.

 

Jeanne DuPrau, author of The City of Ember, is a New York Times best selling children's writer.

 

And Nan Golub, a painter living in New York City, studied with Richard Diebenkorn and Deborah Remington and has been compared to Rufino Tomayo.

WHY WE WANT TO DO THIS: Art is one of the oldest activities on Earth, even predating science or math. But too often we forget it is a basic part of a balanced, healthy life. And women and art rarely get serious attention in our culture. Older women in art are virtually ignored. We want Creation to be used in classrooms and public libraries, so we're going to create the DVD in three modules. Each module will be accompanied by a detailed discussion guide that will encourage teachers to stress the importance of art in the human experience.
