Description: City in Perspective, Week 1
Perspective Drawing of the downtown areas of Milltown, Centuria, and Balsam Lake will be the focus of this class. Day one will be a review of perspective drawing in the classroom followed by the first of 3 field trips. The days following will involve 2 additional field trips to surrounding towns that will give students the opportunity to sketch the environments around them in correct proportion. On the final day of class, students will select one of the towns to complete as a final. In case of bad weather, students will draw from photos of the towns in the shelter of the classroom.

Midsummer Celebration
Over 150 people attended the 2nd Annual Midsummer Celebration held at Lamar on June 23, 2012. Thanks for helping us re-establish this classic nordic celebration of the longest day of the year with a flower bedecked Midsummer pole, music, food, and a presentation on the "Lore of Midsummer by Carolyn Wedin. (See photos below)
The re-establishment of Midsummer’s Day is a collaboration of the Amery Swedish
Club and Lamar Community Center with funds from the Wisconsin Humanities Council, which supports and creates programs that use history, culture and discussion to strengthen community life for everyone in Wisconsin.
