A Beacons Trip to First Amendment


Hello Blog world!
Beacons' Mural Madness group went on a trip yesterday! They got in the Y bus and headed to First Amendment Arts, which is an award-winning art gallery located in the studio, and run by Burlesque Design of North America, a Northeast Minneapolis-based design and screenprinting studio.

Our young artists learned about screen printing and different types of careers that someone can have as an artist. You don't have to paint canvases all day to be an artist, and our youth got a chance to see that in action!

They got to see some posters

And to see the paints they use to print on the posters, stickers and t-shirts

Then they hung out in the art gallery, checking out the landland art on display

And everyone enjoyed the disco ball!

Everyone got to take home a really cool small poster to cut out and put on their desk in a little scene!
Thank you First Amendment! We had a blast!!!!!!!!!!

The walls at the Beacons center are coming to life, thanks to the   3-5 mural group.  Here are some beginning shots of the first mural.






















Updated Pictures to come as the mural is finished.
