Art Class and Wimbledon Tennis Museum

Greetings from the UK! Our first full day in England started with an art class at Ursuline High School.  The students were given a short lesson on the history of graffiti and were then given an opportunity to create their own pieces with stencils and spray paint. The girls’ art incorporated iconic London images including Big Ben, a double decker bus, teapots, and the Queen.  The girls had so much fun that even the chaperones tried their hand at designing their own pieces!

After the wonderful art lesson, we enjoyed a stroll through the village and commons to the Wimbledon Tennis Museum.  The exhibits featured the history of the sport and the evolution of the tournament.  Unfortunately we were not able to tour the grounds and courts because they were preparing for the championship.  

The girls are looking forward to spending the weekend with their host families.  Their host sisters have planned an exciting evening of bowling and barbeque for the entire group tonight!
