Joëlle Mingat to parents and headmasters

Tout se passe très bien. Déjà 1 semaine. Joris a vu ce qu'était un cabinet médical US. Rien de grave si ce n'est le changement d'horaire, l'éloignement et les journées bien chargées. Aucune nouvelle de nos jeunes ce week-end, ce qui est bon signe. Jusqu'à présent, nous avons pu faire tt ce qui était prévu au programme sauf 1 musée. Les visites de vendredi on été rapides notamment Buswiick et grand central mais ont permis d'avoir 1 bon aperçu. Nous n'avons pas pu aller au MET qui est désormais payant. Nous sommes allés au MOMA. Le temps ce week-end à été magnifique. Le temps demain sera plutôt nuageux, peut-être 1 peu de pluie. Élèves US et Fr iront ensemble (with US and French teachers of course).

place : Brooklyn

An idea of Joseph Ficalora, a local of Bushwhick in 2013.
WHY? he wanted to heal after the death of his father. So he asked many artists from all around the world to express their art on walls.

Rules : no offensive paint, no violence has to be shown : art has to be for all public as it is in a public area.

-> lots of different galleries (ex : Momenta Art which is led by an artists' organisation)
-> Silen Barn

- Présentation : Times Square is a  square in Midtown Manhattan, formed by the intersection of Seventh Avenue, 42nd Street, and Broadway. The square is one of the most visited places in the world, 360,000 people come here in a day, and 131 million visit Times Square in a year.

- History : In 1904, the New York Times built the Times Tower on 43rd street to replace its downtown premises. The square in front of the building was called Longacre square, but was soon renamed Times Square.

At the start of the First World War, Times Square was the center of the Theater District and attracted a large number of visitors. This made the square an ideal place for billboards. In 1917 the first large electric display billboard was installed. The billboards have become a tourist attraction for the area.
