A Day for Integrated Arts Education ... and Remembrance

ISAAC students enjoyed a full day of art, writing, exploration, and community service  activities at the Lyman Allyn Museum, Deshon Allyn House, and Connecticut College Arboretum on the 23rd and 24th of April.

The day began with a gallery tour of Elizabeth Enders' exhibit, Landscape - Language - Line. Students participated in either of two hands-on workshops in Chinese art modeled after the technique of Charles Chu, Miss Ruth's recently deceased father-in-law, master artist and  professor emeritus of Chinese Literature at Connecticut College.

Other activities of the day included a plein air poetry writing experience and nature hike & scavenger hunt at the Connecticut College Arboretum, and spring cleaning of the Lyman Allyn & Deshon Allyn ground. The day culminated in dedicating two weaping cherry trees, planted by students, to ISAAC's former Executive Director and co-counder, Ruth A. Cole-Chu. Miss Ruth was passionate in her dedication to ISAAC. It was a magical day ... the kind of unique educational experience she dedicated her life to creating.
