Video Gaming
We had a large group of very interested teens for Bill's talk on Video Gaming!
Bill was terrific and we could have kept him here all night, I'm sure.
Based on the immense interest next year maybe a workshop where we create our own!
In the meantime, do what Bill said - play games, analyze them - think of ways they could be improved. Be a student of life. Be interested in history, art, literature, sports, culture - the more things you know the more you bring to your imagination!
I'm pretty sure he said READ!!! I know where you can get some books, cheap...free if you return them on time.
Art Wall with Jill Caporlingua
A very talented and inspired group of teens used markers, oil pastels, crayons and paint to create 2 masterpieces that are hanging in our Young Adult room.
Jill gave us an interesting background on how graffiti came to be respected in fine art circles. Picasso, George Braques, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana and Twist (Barry McGee) all influenced the art of graffiti. It was educational and fun to work on a group project! Come see what we created with words and symbols inspire us - visit the YA room.
Will post photos I promise!
