In April 2010 College of Design Art and Design students, Shelley Smith, Blakeley Pritchard and Amanda Hagemann, led a mural painting project with the kids at Lions Park.

In response to an AmeriCorps Day of Service challenge honoring the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. New Sense Studios students and volunteers created a hand made art-quilt. Each square represents a student’s personal dream. The quilt is currently on display at the Haven House main office.

This project taught students basic design principles as well as color theory. Each student used layers of stencils and spray paint to create an abstract composition.

In honor of Black History Month we are continuing our work on the “WE HAVE A DREAM” quilt project. Each student is asked to illustrate their own personal dream on a square of fabric. The squares will be stitched together to form a large scale art quilt. Here is a little of the work!

On October 23 we ran a photography session. Here are some of the photos that were taken!
