How I laugh

As we were finishing up our latest art project, Angel, one of my students, needed to fix her painting. She had done a wash with three colors and didn't like the way it turned out so she came back up for more paint. As she was moving the brush across some blue paint landed on the butterfly she had drawn. One of my workers who was helping Angel said, "Oh he's ok!" and Angel turned to him with her big, serious, brown eyes and said, "That ain't a he it's a she! And now she's blue! That ain't right!" Oh how serious she was. It took all my strength to simply smile and not laugh out loud at her cuteness as I overheard the conversation.

Second Semester in Full Swing

Urban Arts is back from Christmas break! I have the same group of kids at City Mission but this semester we are focusing on visual arts! They are learning so many cool things. The theme for Central Detroit Christian Urban Arts this semester is "Crazy for Christ". We will be focusing on drama, music and dance with the kids. They are going to help write an original drama script for the performance in May! Enjoy the pictures of the City Mission kids working on their art projects.
