This week's assignment was to create a collage from our digital photos. My plan was to take photos of my first grade students showcasing their prized classwork. This would double as a powerpoint presentation for parents at an upcoming Literacy Night. Due to privacy issues concerning publishing student photos, I had to take an alternate route.
Saturday was another picture perfect day in Rhode Island. So, with my friend Karen's husband in Italy on business, I decided to take her to Water Fire in Providence... A little taste of Venice, complete with gondolas, right here in Rhode Island. After an early dinner at Ri-Ra, a quaint Irish bar in the downtown hub, we meandered over to the park to take in a sidewalk chalk-art show presented by local schools, community centers and various independent artists. This was an unplanned event, but like so many impromptu happenings, we were pleasantly surprised by what we saw. Hope you enjoy the etchings. These are only a few of the amazing works, but I used some of the best to create the collage.
The photos of Water Fire were of lesser quality due to the low lighting, but it is an impressive sight to behold. Plan on joining me on your next fair weather visit to Rhode Island.
Hope this helps us keep in touch despite the miles between us. Watch for more news from me in the Ocean State.
