Heavy Metal Drummer


Went to the Walker Art Center this morning with Ian for a free first Saturday for families. They had several activities where children could "toy around with design and architecture to transform everyday materials into spaces for hoopla and hullabaloo." Ian had no interest in designing structures with marshmallows and wooden skewers - it just made him hungary. He spent about 20 minutes drawing a picture of things he saw through the window-see pic. We also wandered through the galleries a bit and found a drum kit way up in a secluded corner of gallery 7. The drums seemed to be hooked up to some sort of machine, which gave us the impression that something would happen when you hit them, but nothing did.
