Thursday, April 4
The Bishop Feehan High School art department and 50 students from 10th through 12th grades visited New York City for a day of art inspiration. The group visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they participated in an artwork scavenger hunt to find 17 specific artworks ranging from battle armor to impressionism and beyond. Each group used Twitter to “tweet” photos of the artwork they found. Some of these can be found on Twitter using the hashtag: #bishopfeehanarttrip. Students visited Times Square, lunched at Planet Hollywood, then made their way to the Top of the Rock and enjoyed a bird's eye view of the city. Their trip was concluded at a Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Now ages 13 and 15, their father has been drawing cartoons on their sandwich bags since they were in second and fourth grades. After creating the designs—which include imaginative monsters, animals, word games and even food—the Attleboro resident takes photos and posts them on his Flickr page. "I just started it as a way to jump-start my creativity in the morning and have some fun with my boys," Laferriere told the Wired Magazine blog "Geek Dad" in November. "I am a designer/illustrator, and I've been doodling, drawing, painting and creating since I was a youngster." The sandwich bag art of Laferriere, who works in the …
