Last time in Social Sculpture we skyped with one of Sheila's friends, Soule. Before I even start talking about the conversation we had with her, I just want to point out how even her name stood out to me the first time I heard it. She's a great community artist, and also had to be extremely patient with us as she had to repeat a lot of things that we didn't comprehend the first time she said them.
One thing that really interested me was the fact that she could combine many things in her work; recycling, art, and theatre. It never occurred to me that one could be involved in so many things at once and produce a combined final result. I find that amazing, like killing two birds with one stone.
I also enjoyed looking at her portfolio, and even though I knew it already, it was a relief to hear her say that acceptance into college didn't entirely depend on one's grades. Hearing it from someone who's actually been through that situation is just that much more reassuring.
I don't think we were really prepared for the Skype conversation. Sheila did most of the talking, and the rest of us just kind of sat back and looked like we knew what was going on. It was still fun, but if there's a next time it would be nice to have some more interaction instead of what seemed like a "Q&A with an artist interview".
