Fifth grade students from Jones Elementary School visited Frank Russell's studio at ArtMongerz in downtown Greensboro on April 6. Russell shares his story about making a viable living as an artist and teaches the students about the power of public art. The students will collect recycled materials for works of art that they will make with Russell. Their art will have a permanent home at Jones Elementary School. Students will also participate in collecting materials for Russell to use in his collaboration with artist Brower Hatcher, who is creating the Motion Cornerstone to be located along the downtown Greenway.
