Oct. II. at the Main Branch of the Forsyth County Public l ibrary. People took part in many activities that allowed them to be creative and ( communal. According to Joan Marie Belnap. vice president of finance operations, the purpose of the event was to welcome the more than 2.000 walkers from the International Marching League. The Arts Council issued free pop corn and drinks and invited them to participate in the community mural. More than 150 walkers stopped to chat and take a break from their march. Some of them chose to help cre ate the community mural on the wall of the library. Michael Townsend and Erica Duthie drove from Rhode Island to teach people in various states about the medium of tape art. "It is a public art form and a temporary art medium," said Townsend. Since originating the idea, they have toured the country making temporary murals. They created a detailed tree to anchor the design and a boy and girl to lead onlookers into the mural. Children and adults from the com munity came forward to make their contributions to the mural. Lisa Thornton and her daugh ter Stephanie Strong designed a wild stallion that reminded them of the wild horses they saw at Shackleford Banks off the coast of North Carolina. Another young lady worked for hours on a basket of apples showing the intricate shape of the fruit. A husband and wife team created a geometric design much like a cross. One of the members of the International Marching League added grass and children to the mural. Olga Horge from Montreal, Canada, walked with the International Marching League for the fifth time.

Another activity that captufed the hearts of children and adults alike was sculptural basketry. Artist John L. Skau brought mate rials such as a glue gun. a heavy duty stapler, cloth, scissors and other tools for children to make hats and baskets. The children worked for hours creating hat designs for Halloween and baskets for Thanksgiving Skau said he loves to work with children because "they are just so free and uninhibited they just let things happen." Skau lives in Arehdale, where he maintains a rigorous work and exhibition schedule. He is active in both local and regional art guilds, including Piedmont Craftsmen. Greensboro Artists' League, Randolph Art Guild, and Greensboro Weavers Guild. Skau specializes in off-loom construc tions.
