Here's the story behind this art, now on the Ada elementary wall. Kristie Steiner, art teacher, calls it a collaborative project. Each art student grades 1 to 7 designed one square. During the design the student needed to think how the square could stand out. That's because roughly 400 squares would eventually hang together. "We put the squares together to create a circle with the overall them of collaboration at Ada for all grades," she said. To best appreciate this project open the photos below to see more.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the 31st Annual Harvest & Herb Festival sponsored by the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, September 17. It is always so great to see all the vendors, shoppers, and friends of Ada converging on Main Street for a great festival! The proceeds from the festival are put back into projects to enhance the Ada community each year.
Renowned artist Jay Ryan of The Bird Machine in Chicago will be at Ohio Northern working with printmaking students on Thursday, according to the ONU Department of Art and Design Facebook page.
He will also conduct a workshop and discuss his work while on campus.
Ryan learned about screenprinting from Steve Walters at Screwball Press in late 1995, where they worked together until 1999, at which point he started The Bird Machine print shop in the basement of his apartment building.
