Hey there,

This is more an arts in the community project, than archeology, but our
group of teens had fun and were game for anything. It doesn¹t take much to
spur their imaginations and sense of discovery. In the blog attached they
are producing drawing at a local landfill in Riverside, CA. The day before
they took a tour of an exhibition of Blind Photographers at UCR California
Museum of Photography, then attempted to duplicate the process of creating
images blindfolded, rediscovering their own senses. Spacial learning,
hands-on, with good prep are the most important features of our program.
