Students create biodegradable art
A member of the San Mateo MakerFaire RainWorks team threw water on what appeared to be just sidewalk; suddenly, a stenciled phrase appeared reading “Be Kind.” Onlookers were wowed, including arts integration teacher Ann Weber, of The Healdsburg School. She knew her students would be interested in making “invisible ink” templates, with a shape that they had cut out of cardboard and sprayed with the hydrophobic paint would suddenly appear when wet. Middle school students at the Healdsburg School teamed with buddies from the Boys and Girls Club to create the stencils together. The following week, in mid-February, students walked to the Healdsburg Plaza to complete the project by spraying the designs.
Remembering Susan Swartz
In every writer’s life comes a great editor, someone who tweaks your creative mess, and voila, you’ve got a great piece of writing.
