Featured today at The Kalamazoo Promise during - “Woodblock Printing & Work-Based Learning" is an ACGK KADI Grant funded project led by printmaker Charles Coates and KRESA CTE Art & Design educator Kellen Deau, who collaborated to facilitate a woodblock printing intensive in the CTE Art & Design classroom.

The project intentions were to fosterstudent individuality, ownership, and investment in their artwork. Students were encouraged to create designs exploring their identity. The CTE curriculum prioritizes work-based learning including students sharing work with the community therefore the project culmination involved students preparing their woodcut prints for exhibit, and also awarded one summer internship at Block Print Paper Studio.

Local Kalamazoo artist, Stacy Costello, will be featured at this Friday located at Pop City Popcorn. Her primary medium is painting, but she also does drawings and some photography. An elementary school teacher retiree, this newfound freedom has enabled her to draw inspiration from nature, color, and design elements; and to experiment with new tools. There is always something new to learn. She also enjoys traveling, music, and spending time with her husband, Doug, friends, family, and pets.
