I’ve been working on a handful of similar illustrations for an upcoming class on stonework I’m leading at the North Carolina Arboretum. I don’t label the drawings, preferring to print posters and write in the key information in the classroom. A copy sized version of the illustrations will be given as handouts for structure note-taking.
On Sunday evening we hung the show with a lot of help from Reid. It looks great and fills the walls well. We may add one more poster after the show, but that’s too much to think about right now, with trying to get everything together in time for Friday.
This is the poster that we hope to complete the night of the opening. The current plan is to cut up a few of them and put the pieces in a basket, inviting kids and their families to color and sign them. After the show we’ll gather them up and glue them over the blank poster.
