TEEN:
Hey Blake, look at this sculpture. I think I see a face?

KID:
Yeah, me too! Are those lips? Those look like ears! But it also looks like a weird vase or something, doesn’t it?

TEEN:
Yeah, a vase with two faces!

KID:
Wait a second – over here the label says the artist called it the Two Way Connection.

TEEN:
Yeah, and there’s a phone on top of the head! It’s like the vase is trying to call someone.

KID:
Ooh, ooh! Ring ring! Hey vase! It’s Blake. What’s up?

TEEN:
You’re pretty funny, Blake.

KID:
Imagine if all the things in your house just came to life one day? Like if you walked in and everyone was just hanging out — your couch, your lamp, your TV…

TEEN:
I like your imagination, Blake. I think this artist has an imagination like yours.

KID:
Really? You think so?

TEEN:
Yeah, look how he uses clay to make things like phones and vases look alive. Just like you were talking about.

KID:
Yeah okay – cool! I like clay because you can make whatever you want out of it. It’s just water and dirt but you can squish and roll it into anything!

TEEN:
Yeah, I love clay. By the way, did you see the activity at the front of the exhibit?

KID:
Oh yeah, I think I saw that – there’s like drawings of cups and phones and stuff?

TEEN:
Yeah! And you can change them however you want.

KID:
Can I draw something?

TEEN:
Definitely. Let’s go try it. I want to see what you come up with.

KID:
Alright, let’s go!
