Art Club

I have the most wonderful opportunity to work with the Garth Elementary Art Club. Through the Civic Engagement program on Campus, the Art Education class taught by Leah Castleman has been able to provide gallery visits, lesson plans, and art projects to the after school program led graciously and generously by Ms. Mason.

Every other Monday college students work with the elementary students to bring them the art class that they no longer receive at school. Each day that I spend with ALL of these students I am humbled by watching imagination, creativity, and thought. I imagine most of our time spent together looks much like this...

I hope that our partnership with Garth only continues to grow and develop into our own imagined creature.

It's been a hot minute

I have been absent from posting Buzzfeeds and Tumblrs to the blog for far too long. Let's catch up shall we?

Why Art Saves Lives

"During the summer of 2013, LAMP Community, a homeless shelter in Los Angeles, hosted a photography class and gave its members a little something called, “hope.”" (via Buzzfeed)

Holy cow. These people are amazing. I think this is just the coolest. You can check out the artist bios at the Buzzfeed link above. Click here to view photos, purchase prints and support these amazing artists!


I love all that picture in picture stuff. I'm terrible at taking quality pictures -unless it's of my dog I'm really good at those- so when I see these I'm amazed.

You can view more of the artist's work here. On a side note, I'm so excited for season 3 of Sherlock to come out I can hardly stand it. 

Dear Photograph

The tag is "take a picture of a picture from the past in the present". Sometimes I can't get past how precise these are. Especially when the settings have hardly changed at all and the old photo blends in perfectly like here:

Look at the railing!? It's almost dead-on. Shew.

I just thought this one was pretty. I wonder if that barn is still there...

It would be super cool to find old pictures from GC do this as a mini-show. You can visit the Tumblr and submit your own photo here.

On an end note, I went to Art Club yesterday. And it was awesome. There was candy. And toys. So tell your friends because it needs to continue. I hear there's going to be a trip coming up.
