Second Sunday this November was packed with fun-filled activities for all! Exquisite corpses, Froebel blocks, and tissue paper collages were the highlights of the afternoon. Also, amongst all the excitement, the Art Center honored former Board Member, Pat Swanson for all her work through the years!

Special thanks to the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust for their Family Froebel and Pentomino workshop.

If a picture paints a thousand words...

I was taking a mid-day mental break when I stumbled on a website called Wordle. It creates word clouds using text you input.

According to the site a word cloud creates a picture from text by “giving greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.” In other words, whatever words are used more frequently appear bigger, while less frequent words are smaller. Check out what happens when I put the Art Center’s “Who We Are” narrative into Wordle.

What’s your word cloud?

What was it I was supposed to do today?
