Over the course of six weeks Philadelphia's High School students have worked hard to beautify the Art Center and get popularity. I am happy to say that we have accomplished our goals for the summer and we are celebrating with a party Friday, August 13, 2010 @ 12:00 -2:00 pm located at the Overbrook Art Center. We plan to display the mural on the side of the Art Center, which was painted by other workers of Education Works including Joel Clymer. We will also be displaying our biggest project here at the Overbrook Art Center, the mosaic that all of us High School students worked on with the help from Mosaic Artist Patricia Metzner-Lynch. We will also be displaying a movie that was created by the students, with the help of media expert Todd Matte, who will also be attending the party this Friday. During the time here we have all accomplished so much while working cooperatively together. We are all proud and happy to have made a difference in our community and hope that others will join the Art Center when it is complete. Although the Mosaic is not a finished piece, most of work has been done in the duration of six week and is planned to be completed this fall. In the future, the Art Center will be open to the community as a third home for all. There will be a cafe open, free wifi Internet, art classes, music classes and yoga classes and it will also be a place to just chill and hang out. We are hoping that the Art Center will have an overwhelming affect on the Overbrook community and the term "third home" will really take affect.
