10/26 Lecture: Ben Volta

From [Lauren Lee]
Based on what he said at the lecture, Ben Volta does a lot of work with children and teenagers. He talked in detail about two particular projects. One of them was with a group of teenagers to create a "mural" for the side of a Philadelphia building. He had each student research ideas, and then they all put their ideas together to form "wallpapers" for the wall. He also talked about helping a math class to use math to create a three-dimensional piece of artwork. He said that working with these children, or teenagers, led him to meet so many people that he wouldn't usually meet. The main theme of his speech, I feel, was collaboration.
