I am so excited to show these photos. Last year, UE students created personal
maps that were inspired by RISD illustrator
Aaron Meshon. Aaron found the students' work online and generously mailed us his beautiful postcards!! I was speechless. He also included a wonderful letter for me to read to the class. The students were so awed and touched. They LOVED the postcards and couldn't stop looking at all the clever and fun details in them that make Aaron Meshon's maps so unique. I think they all want to go to RISD now! If you're reading this Aaron, my students and I say a big THANK YOU and we are your biggest fans!!

Hey guys! I am so happy you liked the postcards! you all make awesome work, and I can't wait to see more! The Optical art pieces you did are crazy cool. I can't wait to see the next maps you work on as well! I am working on a map now for Rochester, NY.
ReplyDeleteyour pal,
aaron
Awww Did you go to RISD Ruth? I graduated 2003. That is so cool of aaron. I've always loved that piece and really want to get a print for my house. I love Providence. Haven't been back since the library was renovated. I'm really wanting to go this summer to show my baby girl where I met her dad. Providence is the worst in the winter! Phyl will like the map of Rochester that's her neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteWhoops it's in your About Me! I am getting confused with all the blogs I follow I think. You still have your RISD email? You must not have graduated too long ago. They kicked me off long ago:)
ReplyDeleteI know, he's so cool! Yes, Providence can be very unbearable during the Winter. It's where I met my man too:) Did you also graduate from the MAT program? Wonder what those MATs are up to these days;)
ReplyDeleteI was undergrad photo ( you can't tell from my pics because I'm doing too much and usually just grab my iPhone to snap pics for the blog)
ReplyDeleteI worked for a while all over the place then decided I wanted to teach so I did an accelerated route to certification. RISD was such a good education I couldn't beat to go to a community college for 2 years to get my license. U know that sounds terrible. I hope I can give my little girl the same great education!
Totally understand! RISD's program was just a year. So much work, but so worth it!:) your daughter's going to have an awesome education just from having an artist and a teacher as a mom!
