Friday, September 26, 2008 ~ Shadow pictures
In last week's digital photography class, students were told to take 5 pictures of their shadow. Above are two of the pictures. Participants had a lot of fun with this class and always enjoy going outside to take pictures.
Friday, September 26, 2008 ~ Michelle is full-time!
As of September 1st, Michelle is a full-time AmeriCorps member at the Art Center. Last year she was part-time.
We are happy to have her around more! Rock on, Michelle. Rock on.
Friday, September 19, 2008 ~ But is the Happy Art Center really happy?
Yes!!! You heard it here first, folks. Art Center participant, Analiese, age 7, declared on Thursday that, "I always feel happy at the Art Center."
She also went on to tell us that the Art Center is supposed to be happy and that one of her favorite things about the Art Center is that she gets to be with her friends.
We like happy kids!
Friday, September 12, 2008 ~ Why are these kids planting NOW???
... because the Artists' Garden is getting a hoophouse! Well, technically it's a "low tunnel" that will be about 4 feet wide and 10-20 feet long. This will allow gardeners to grow year round in this greenhouse-like shelter.
The funds for this fall's project will come from a grant to Angelic Organics Learning Center from the Chicago Community Trust.
