I’m back after having a hysterectomy & ready for some more CANVAS DANCING ~ Collaborative Art!

Canvas Dance is a workshop I lead with all ages. Some samples above. I have several different versions on the theme of collaborative art. My favorite is sort of like “round Robin” which is where people write something as they pass it around. Sort of the same, as each person starts with their own canvas, paints for a timed period, then passes it the the next person for a timed period. I like this one because everyone goes home with a painting with all the group energy, different from the giant painting, that only one person gets!

Now that I’m on the mend from surgery, I’m ready to book some more Canvas Dance parties & Events. Please contact me here if you are interested!

I often volunteer for good causes too!

BTW, if you want to see my process (through cartoons), of my hysterectomy please go to: The Hysterical Hysterectomy ” or “Sperm Art” on http://www.flickr.com

It’s good to be back!

Happy Spring  Everyone!

CANVAS DANCE ™ ~ Painting Collaborations

CANVAS DANCE ~ PAINTINGS FOR PEACE (tm)  An art & movement workshop created and lead by  Bethann Shannon (A.K.A.The Art Angel)

My greatest passion is collaborating & painting with other people…

artists, non-artists, adults, children, strangers! You name it!

Whenever possible I lead “CANVAS DANCE ~ Paintings For Peace” ™

for fundraisers, benefits, schools and parties,

(some are paid gigs & many I volunteer).

I just LOVE it!

I love it with friends and family TOO!

It is a fabulous way to come together and connect and be close.

I posted some CANVAS DANCE ™

paintings I did with a friend in Asheville, NC

on www.flickr.com/theartangel/

My friends name is Stewart and we collaborated on canvas 

many, many times back in 2004 -2005.

I liked the paintings we did…he owns most of them…I wish I did!

I’m still searching through my files and storage

to find pictures of my earliest art collaborations and

newspaper articles about CANVAS DANCE ™, and I’ll post them once I find them.

It is my wish that more people, family and friends would make ART together!

The piece above was done with my friends David and Judy,

celebrating the shopping & dress shops (especially vintage!) in Northampton, MA !
