#teenartsprogram

Here are some highlights of the past six months of the ARAS Pioneer Teen Internship. Some of our activities have included free draws (including the exquisite corpses above) and free writing to free up to the subconscious mind for creative activities, we also learned coptic book binding, visited the New York Public Library’s Picture Collection, and learned about the day to day activities of the archive. 

This is a blog post from one of our interns Cedar, who took part in our Pioneer Teen program this past summer: "The symbol, star, caught my attention because of how prevalent starts are in our lives. No matter what our lives may look or, or where we are in the world, we all look up at the same sky. Who knows how many other people are looking up at the same star as you in the same exact moment. Stars leave me with a feeling of interconnectedness, no matter how differing my life and my experiences may be from someone else's. We still share the same sky and the same stars."
