I wonder what could they be up to...
A little birdie told me that they were plotting an adventure so huge, that it might even be seen from space.
What do you think they're up to??

hide-n-seek: the objective?
It is much easier to call oneself an environmentalist or an activist than it is to actually make some sort of sacrifice to reduce one’s carbon footprint or to declare and act upon one’s dissent about an important political or social issue.
Mind and body. Intentions and actions. Trying to live a life that brings these together is like an adventure with unexpected challenges and obstacles. And, even when things go right for us -- they can still seem to go wrong.
If you are used to telling the story of never getting what you want, then actually getting what you want might be a lot more complicated that it might seem.
I am curious about your experiences in the SPARK BrooklynArts SAT, Community Service, and Gallery Clubs. What is it like for you to be working with adults on your academic goals, involved in the community, recognized as growing young adults and, of course, as the faboo artists that you are.
In a very short time, we have already seen and done some mind-blowing things and also made some amazing friends. It's been exciting and different for me. What's it been like for you? I'd like you sign in and add your comments below.
Okay, this is kind of a writing assignment (in case any of you were wondering), but I think your thoughts are important. Write them down. It’s the only way anyone will ever find them read them.
In the game of hide and seek, the objective is not to hide (as one might initially think).
Instead, isn’t the fun of the game to be found?
Don’t hide instead seek and let the world find you – maybe you’ll find something you’ve been looking for.
Peace
If you like cars! (and I know who you are)

“Life is OK Except for the Clowns”
I’m curious what you think about the stuff we saw-- the Dewantron, those butterfly hair clips, the fungus among us. And what about that crazy landscape behind the glass?

Welcome to the SPARK BklynArts Blog
Welcome to the the SPARK BklynArts blogI
Published in our offices at the Brooklyn High School for the Arts, we are located at the center of the cultural and creative universe that is Downtown Brooklyn.
With the help of lots of our friends, SPARK BklynArts has lined up some pretty exciting and interesting and exciting things to do during and after-school.
Follow us on Facebook or Twitter (links will be up soon) to get the 411 on the SPARK BklynArts SAT Achievement Club, Community Service Club, and of course our already famous Gallery Club. Maybe you will find something that interests you and join us real soon.
Here's a word from Nibor about the Gallery Club.
Hi Everyone! Just this month we’ve visited an art fair, a museum, a studio, and a bunch of galleries, talking to artists, curators, and dealers about everything from the practical—like what computer programs work best—to the magical quality that transforms an everyday object like a hat or a bottlecap into eye- and mind-bending art. We’ve jumped in Olafur Eliasson’s light sculpture and chatted with Nari Ward about why he put cut-up sneakers in this painting. We’ve seen old-school Chinese scroll painting made contemporary, a Korean artist’s fork sculpture, the incredible metal tapestries of El Anatsui, and a bunch of other things made from Photoshop, junk, and other stuff we never knew you could call art. In between we’re learning about different neighborhoods and foreign places and the many ways that creative people build themselves careers doing what they love. Also, we’ve learned how to use the word reference as a verb.
On Thursday March 18, we’re going to visit a cool Williamsburg gallery, Pierogi. See you there!
