So from day 1, the boy was involved in everything from finding reference
photos, sketching on graph paper, and building prototypes, through to the
actual design and construction of the sculpture. We work around his schedule
so we usually only get a few hours done per week (if any!). So far the
project has taken 340 hours spread across nearly 100 building sessions since
early 2006. (If you look in the photos, you can see how much he’s grown!)
At first, the project was more like teaching a class. (“Here’s what we’re
going to do.” .... “Put that brick there.” .... “Duplicate this pattern for
the rest of the wall”... etc) but as he became more skilled, I was able to
give him responsibility for designing and completing sections on his own, and
then “grading” his results and/or tweaking them with him. Most recently, we
collaborated on a design of the elevated train line and we were both
contributing ideas to the design with equal fervor! :)

Having the patience and ability to work with/teach a grade schooler is very
commendable, Sean! You better watch out; one day he might take over your job!

Oh yeah, the Stadium is awesome. In-progress shots are always appreciated.
