Noblesville student’s class project comforts children in crisis

It started out as a simple assignment in Mrs. Bond’s 8th-grade science class at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School in Noblesville. “Through this process, you all had to try to make a difference,” said Angela (Watts) Bond, BCHS Class of ’98,  as she addressed her students. One of her students was so inspired to make a difference, that her work started ‘Bella’s Crusade’,  which helps children of domestic violence. View the video from Fox 59 and read more about this caring student and her teacher who inspired her to ‘make a difference’.

Justin Cooper, ’93, self-taught artist, blends layers of acrylic, oil, wet-sanded canvas and metallic leaf to create subtle pictures in the style of Christian art — but the subjects are animals, often with halos – and painted in a style similar to early Japanese printmaker and painter Katsushika Hokusai. His work was featured in exhibition as  “Missed The Boat”, presented in 2011 at the Primary Gallery, Murphy Art Center. In it, you can  see the influence of the Eastern Orthodox tradition of icon painting — in a raccoon’s halo, for example — and also the influence that the children’s literature classic, Aesop’s Fables, had.
