The Pomerene Center for the Arts had activities for area youth at the artPARK .

Teaming up with Coshocton Public Library , Clary Gardens , Johnson Humrickhouse Museum and Roscoe Village , they presented learning projects for children kindergarten through sixth grade . Based on Tom Nooks ’ Nintendo game , Animal Crossing , children and their parents learned what to expect when you set out to create your own island paradise .

“ In the game Nook helps set you up with your very own island . You get to choose your own hair and eye color , the shape of your eyes , nose and mouth , and you are there walking around the island . It ’ s a game that is currently pretty popular ,” said Anne Cornell , artist and director for the Pomerene Center .

The Pomerene activity was held at the artPARK on Main Street every Wednesday through the month of June .

Partnering with Tails and Tales , the Coshocton

Library ’ s summer reading theme , Animal-xing is a program where artists work with local children and their families to create an animal island they can visit anytime this summer .

“ We made T-shirts the first week with us on them , and then you get your very own island with little creatures that are their friends . Our island is back here where the solar panels are because it is surrounded by the sidewalk and it looks like an island . They get to make their very own house . We made flowers and invited some birds , and that whole area will be the children ’ s art work . We call it Animal-xing ,” Cornell said .

Four-year-old Madalyn Shingleton wanted to make a baby bird . “ It doesn ’ t look like a bird yet ,” she said . “ Actually , it needs a head and beak and a little tail .”

Shingleton attended the event with her 11-month-old brother , Jaxton , and her mom , Kristen Shingleton .

“ Make the shape using aluminum foil ,” Cornell

Anne Cornell from the Pomerene Center shows Madalyn Shingleton and Adley Brown how to shape their bird from aluminum for a project during Animal-xing at the artPARK .

said . “ The secret ingredient is paper mache made from flour and water . Tear strips of colored paper , dip it into the paste and lay it on the form . All the colors and textures will make it look like feathers .”

Aimee Brown and her daughter Adley also worked on a bird project . “ We have been doing things at Clary Gardens and the Johnson Humrickhouse Museum and at the library , so there is something each day ,” Aimee Brown said . “ It ’ s super awesome because I would never think of making birds from aluminum foil . I appreciate when other people can bring this to her life because I don ’ t know how . This is Adley ’ s second week . Last week we made flowers out of paint rollers , nylon footies and pipe cleaners .”

On Sunday , July 11 at 6:30 p . m ., they will open the exhibit , “ Animal Crossing .”

“ Invite all of your friends and family , and we hope to have a good crowd with the library ,” Cornell said . “ We plan to have a picnic and a funk band .”
