records

This week the kids did a project where they took old records and made them into cool new pieces of art. We had tons of fun taking something old and turning it into something new! 

Here's a group shot of the art after school kids with the College student helpers!



We even had some college students join us!!

                                                                                                   Look how cool Jacobs record came out!



How cool is Halieys piece?!?! (above)

If you thought this project was cool and want to do it at home all you need are oil based markers (we used oil based sharpie markers), old records, and some imagination!! If you don't have any old records no worries you can use old CD's and regular permanent markers! Just be sure to let the markers fully dry before you touch them. Have fun and be sure to send us some pictures of your finial works!!

Buttons for Freedman Kids!


We have three wonderful Albright students helping us this year - Alyssa, Amanda and Jess. And we are implementing some new ideas- including these buttons! Kids who come to our programs get these lovely pins and will earn beads to hang from them with different projects they complete.

Freedman Kids Say Cheese!


Fernando, Jacob, Haley and Bence proudly hold up the cast of characters they made from found objects. They were inspired by the Jeanne Verdoux Exhibition: Mr Bones and Friends. They collected materials, worked on their pieces, photographed them on location and then added stories, culminating in books and sharing. Scroll down and through to see all that they created!
