Martin Lemelman, Visiting Rock Stah Artist!

Visiting artist Martin Lemelman recently treated us to his work AND penny candy as part of his UConn gig. We saw everything from children's work to magazine work to graphic novels and loved every minute of it. It was a great show and we learned a lot. Thanks, Martin, for being so generous with your time! See his work here: Martin Lemelman

Martin's artwork wasn't the only treat! Here we are sucking down penny candy.

Martin Lemelman shows us original work.

Bees! (And Beekeeping)

On our way to the hives. It was a cold and windy day, but we were not deterred!


Amy Gronus shows us some honey from the hives.

ART 2210 was fortunate to visit the  UConn apiary during our recent project on bees and beekeeping. Here Amy Gronus shows us the hives. Thanks, Amy!
