She started to talk about one family.
They are mother, fother and 8 children, And every summer they stayed liverside in 1 week with their children’s friend.
Lee was surprised about their volunteer to take care of many children, then started to think about what is memory or what is sharing the memory.

Home as a place of peace/ people go back, or How the people’s memory are documented/ gathered.

Renata CRUZ’s workshop was held on November 12th.

The participants used transparent water color, and painted on the books which made in Brazil by Renata in this workshop.

The participants painted the object from their home and the words or sentences by the books together.

First, Renata explained about the transparent watercolor.
People are used to use opaque watercoplor in Japan, and the difference is how to paint the light tone.
You mix with the white in opaque watercolor if you want to paint light tone, but you should mix more water in the transparent watercolor.
Also, you can enjoy the layer of the color in the transparent watercolor.

There was much times to practice how to use water and brush.

In the lunch time, Renata cooked Brazilian omulett and salad.

Then, started paint on the books.

They painted same brush but were very different.

The last part is draw the words or sentences next to the object.
