Creating Kites

Students build and decorate kites during the "Remembering Through Art Creation" event in Squires Student Center on April 16, 2008, A Day of Remembrance. An instruction sheet for the event explained:

Unfurl your kite and decorate with images of hope and love, words of peace, strength and comfort. Take your kite outside and watch it lift your message to the sky and rise to the heavens. You may keep your kite or return it for others to fly."

Painting Memorial Stones

Students decorate memorial stones at a "Remembering Through Art Creation" event in Squires Student Center on April 16, 2008, A Day of Remembrance. An instruction sheet for the event explained:

"Please walk through the space and choose a stone that speaks to you. Carry it to a table where you can paint, write on, or decorate your stone. Take the "new stone" to the second area and participate in creating a new stone design on the floor - signifying moving forward forward, while still remembering.
We will never forget."
