WALL WORDS
Collaborating Service Organization: Raleigh Girls Club
Instructor: Morag Charlton

The images on display are part of a book created by eighteen girls from the Raleigh Girls Club under the instruction of artist Morag Charlton. The girls wanted to create a book for young and beginning readers, ages 3-5 years, that tells the story of color. Each page of the book is an exploration of a different color. The youths used magazines, drawings, text, and most importantly, their imaginations to tell the story.

Favorite Colors can be purchased at Artspace for $7 per copy. All proceeds support the Artspace Outreach Program.
