For those of you who don't know, Detroit Connections is a class where one day a week we spend the day at a Detroit Public school (ours is Garvey Elementary) teaching 5th graders art. Detroit schools have basically no money so all extra (ie, non testing subjects) have been eliminated. We are art facilitators more than anything, not really teaching processes but introducing materials to explore. It's a great experience every time and I really enjoy spending time with the kids and getting to know them.
My fellow group leader, Jenn with (R to L) Kortnee, Cierra and a girl who is best friends with Cierra but I can't remember her name as she's not in our group. 
Making wood sculptures, the three girls in our group decided to team up and make a neighborhood. 
Andre, showing me his sketch book cover. Heck of a kid, loves super heros and calls me Peter Parker (as I always have my camera and my name).
Melanie (our prof) and Gerrard discussing ideas. 
Andre created something he was excited about!
Our GSI, Charlie, helping clean the kids up after paint mixing.
