It's hard to believe that OS29 has only been here for a little over two weeks; already we're seeing great things from them. In the art studios, they've been busy working on the Observation and Place projects, and in Connections they are deep into their exploration of Walden. Across the board, their work has been colorful, diverse, and full of life. They are poets and storytellers, and show a lot of care towards one another and the Oxbow community as a whole. Outside of the classroom, they are rambunctious and playful; on the weekends, scooters, skateboards, and bikes litter the breezeway.
Yesterday, during an excursion outdoors for Connections class, one student stated, "I make art because I have things to say." An observer could conclude that this statement holds true for all of OS29. This is a class with a strong voice (yes, it gets a little loud sometimes...) and a lot of heart; as the semester moves on, we aim to help each student project their voice and share their passion. So, OS29: as you head into your third Oxbow week, we leave you with a thought from Kahlil Gibran: "Work is love made visible."
