2/23/09 Spring Break

Over spring break I went to California for the weekend and while I was there I got to learn about green architecture. Children from Bridgeport Elementary school used recycled materials to make benches for pedestrians to sit on. The teachers want the kids to look at “junk” with an eye to re-use. They ask them look at pictures of junk, and create drawings of a bench. Inspired by these drawings, the artist is asked to make a bench for permanent display.
