Triptych documentary

I had enjoyed this documentary Triptych, as available through Kanopy streaming platform.

"Triptych" is about three women in their sixties who've devoted their entire adult lives to making art. They show us what they do and how they do it. Lana Wilson (http://lwilso2.otherpeoplespixels.com...) is a mother and grandmother who has used her seemingly boundless energy to become a well known ceramic artist. Jeanne DuPrau, author of The City of Ember (http://www.jeanneduprau.com/index.shtml) is a New York Times best selling children's writer. And Nan Golub, a painter living in New York City, studied with Richard Diebenkorn and Deborah Remington and has been compared to Rufino Tomayo. What makes these women tick? Is there an arc of creativity associated with age? Is it different for women? What do they have to tell us about art and life and the importance of the creative spirit?

WHY THIS FILM: An overwhelming number of people don't understand why art and creativity are important. School boards cut it from curricula; governments balk at funding it. Art is one of the oldest activities on Earth, even predating science or math. But too often we forget it is a basic part of a balanced, healthy life. On top of all this, women and art rarely get serious attention in our culture and older women in art are virtually ignored. We want "Triptych" to be used in classrooms and libraries and on PBS and cable television so viewers can see how three very special women enrich our lives and theirs with a devotion to art and creativity.
