MS #4 Students...You are welcome to join Bright Street Academy on Sunday! The Urban Art Group has been very busy at Bright Street over the past few months. We have been creating giant murals throughout the school with our new mural & graffiti supplies, and started making art items for Hoboken. For the 3rd year in a row we will have a booth at the Hoboken Art & Music Festival on Sunday, May 5th, 2013. Lots more info to follow. On Tuesday, Feb 19, we will be welcoming new students to our school, which we are all excited about. Ms. Marino will be looking for new Urban Artists, so get ready! On other fronts, through Donors Choose, we just got an Epson printer/scanner and ink supplies funded through generous donations. Thank you Donors Choose! Now we can print our digital art in the classroom. Over the weekend, Ms Marino uploaded how to youtube videos under "Projects". We will be watching them in class to improve our drawing and design skills. Students, you can now watch them at home as well! There were only a few of us, but we had fun! We ate teeny tiny pizzas, chased each other with super soakers, sold some stuff (thanks to our great sales woman Ebonee Pitman), and the highlight, spray painting with Mustart. You rock Ivan!  Saturday, June 23rd, our final art show for the year in Jersey City. We will be selling the rest of our products as well as spray painting a mural with Mr. Mustart, graffiti artist. Come check us out, support us. All students welcome to participate. Exact location: Provost Street between 2nd Street & Bay Street AND First Street, between 2nd Street and Warren Street. Everyone’s favorite host, Dancin’ Tony, will emcee live music all day, from the likes of Devi, The Ray Bally Band, Microcosms, the Audiobodies and many more. Over 75 of the finest crafters the craft world has to offer (such as: Rockstar Revolution, La Muse Kalliope, Oceanne, the Jersey City Craft Mafia, FilthyFarmGirlNYC, Misty Glassworks, Locust Point Furnishings, InstigatorZine, truly psychic readings by Intuitive Goddess, henna and face painting by Henna by Colleen) will be there with bells on. Delectable food and drinks will be offered by All Kinds of Whoopie, Mamma Marci, El Taqueria Chilango, Vita Pizza, Two Pitas in a Pod, Lizzmonade and the Hamilton Inn Beer Truck. Other spinning plates include: A pop-up art mural teaming up local artists with kids from the Jersey City Urban Arts Program, a Puppy Fashion show by Fierce Pet Fashion & Liberty Humane Society, and a comedy tent featuring 25 comics (hosted by Craig Mahoney). Also, in one corner, WFMU’s dj’s will be spinning and giving away giveaways (yay giveaways! Who doesn’t love giveaways?!?). Speaking of which: The first 100 attendees will receive fun-filled swag bags! The 4th Annual Blowout Bash will go down in history as the biggest one to date for Not Yo Mama’s! During this year’s Annual Blowout Bash, we’ll be donating a portion of our proceeds to the Liberty Humane Society. A few of us, Sierra, Steven, Amina & Ms Marino went after school today to add the finishing touches. I am so proud of my kids! The mural came together & looks awesome! Can't wait to hang our stuff in the windows on Tues.  |

I love art and can't imagine my life without it! I've been working with students in Jersey City for the past 13 yrs~ doing what I love. My students inspire me, and I hope I return the inspiration back. ~Ms. Marino Archives
