For my work with international students, we sometimes take them for activities outside the classroom, or what we refer to as Out & About. Yesterday, two students and I visited the Lawrence Arts Center. One of them brought her young son along-- his English was so good he was translating for us some of the time.
Not even I had been to the arts center, even though it is just downtown. Unfortunately, they were in the process of changing out their gallery spaces, so our trip was shorter than planned, but we toured all of the workshops. We still got to see some enormous horoscope symbols made from only cardboard and zip ties hanging in the entrance. I loved the fish, of course:
some ceramics
This is a giant mosaic in the stairwell. I've always wanted to do one of these!
the reception desk
There were other studios of stained glass making, classes of little girls doing ballet -too cute!- and also drawing and jewelry making. Winter is my creative season of painting and drawing, when it's too cold and/or dark to be outside. I'm sort of looking forward to it now.
