Name/Title
Curry SC - Elisa Benedicto - Girl in SkatesDescription
Elisa Benedicto Tita Ely is a member of Curry Senior Center’s Samahang Pinoy, a Filipino ladies group. She has been a member for three years and has participated in many of Curry’s programs, especially during the pandemic. One of the programs she regularly attends is Art with Elders (AWE) every Thursday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Tita Ely loves to draw but struggles to find time to devote to it. Through Art with Elders, she has been able to find time to enjoy her passion. She said, “I am good with drawing, but I can be better.”
The AWE instructor, Min Lee, starts their session by showing them techniques such as how a simple shape can start a picture and become a lovely work of art. She also learned how to mix colors and add shadows to make the subject of the painting stand out.
