My buddy Farrar and I are working on a litho edition for the Library Company of Philadelphia. The print will be available at their Philadelphia on Stone exhibit in late March. So far we've just begun working on the stone, but here's a preview:
As promised months ago, here are some images from my awesome (hindsight is a little rosy) enrichment kids. We finished the month with a bang, making collograph prints. Now I'm about to do the same project with my college students!
This July, not only did I work at the Rosenbach Museum & Library, but I also took on a teaching artist position with Philadelphia Arts in Education Partnership. Three days a week I'd drive up 76 to H.R. Edmunds Elementary in northeast Philadelphia to work with 45-125 students grades k-9 ... it was an experience. I think the kids made some great work though (when they weren't running around screaming and choking each other), and I'll have a few posts of the different projects soonish. (My iPhone blog app keeps crashing with the multitude of photos ... oh well.) One thing I learned: you definitely have to roll with the punches when you're dealing with the school district (and there are a lot of punches).
