A LANDMARK IN THE MAKING

Brick x Brick students from Edison High School, Mater Academy and LHCC  visited the construction site
of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (opening in December),  a stunningly modern design
 by architects
Herzog and de Meuron.

Girl Power gets a sneak peek at Perez Art Museum under construction

All of us donned hardhats and followed Education curator Emily Mello as she pointed out the features of Miami's amazing art museum designed by Swiss team Herzog and de Meuron, presently being built brick by brick (or, in this case, poured slab by slab). The views are incredible, the spaces truly monumental. A landmark if there ever was one. We were privileged to get a private tour!

Yarn Bombing the Parking Lot at Mater

We definitely feel that by decorating the parking markers with colored yarn, we have effectively beautified the parking lot at Mater Academy in Little Havana. 

In this way, we feel we've made life a little bit more colorful for students and faculty alike. 

Tabletop Park Project at Mater Academy

ou

We built a tabletop park using cardboard, spray paint, natural stones, leaves, plants, found objects from the neighborhood, craft sticks & silk flowers. Our idea was to create a park for strolling & enjoyment, providing some shade and a little entertainment in the form of a spinning ride.

Documenting with Photography.

Every Saturday morning our group of young photographers at the LHCC walk around the vicinity  of the center, Lemon City is the name of the area. With their eyes and cameras they re/discover
and make a visual record of  their community.
Here some images from our last class.

Beautiful rainy afternoon!
