CYLI event: Belfast students create artwork during visit to campus
On Wednesday April 8th, though the efforts of CYLI, or the Children and Youth Learning Initiative, middle school students from Belfast had an opportunity to get a first hand look at Alfred University life. Under the guidance of Professor Corrie Burdick, students seeking Art Education certification were able to accompany the visiting students on an adventure intended to demystify the college experience. After learning about some artistic techniques, the middle schoolers were equipped with digital cameras with which they photographed the campus from new and interesting perspectives. Students then created an "instant museum" which was exhibited at the Women's Leadership Center. This event was a major success and proved to be an inspiration for both participants and viewers. These photographs are some examples of the visiting student's work.
