Visual poetry project at Daniel Bagley Elementary
By Erica Browne Grivas Visual poems are a perennial student art project at Daniel Bagley Elementary (7821 Stone Ave N). For this project, children create a self-portrait or a drawing built not with simple strokes and lines, but with words that support and relate to the picture. The visual poems on display in the school’s lobby now were created by Mr. Moore’s 4th/5th grade Montessori students in an art class led by Temple McNeer. “Students were learning about the proportion of the human face through the experience of drawing self-portraits,” says McNeer. “I thought it would be powerful to include text they had…

Resident shares objections to proposed new lighting and sound system at Bishop Blanchet
In November 2011, Bishop Blanchet High School (8200 Wallingford Ave N) submitted a Land Use Permit application which included a proposal for four new 70-foot field light poles and a new sound system. The school says the lights and sound system would be used at four or five football games a year. According to Lee Bruch, a neighbor of the school, the proposed changes to the school’s field would “essentially create a stadium.” “This will have severe detrimental effects on the immediate neighborhood and its residents,” Lee says. Lee asked us to share the following letter, which he sent to the Seattle Department of Planning & Development (DPD) yesterday…
