ON THE COVER
The cover of this issue of
UpRoar features original
artwork by Cory Levy. The
17-year-old Brooklyn student
spends many of his afternoons
at Teen Central at Grand Central
on East 46th Street. Cory and
other students—including a
group from the nearby High
School of Art & Design—gather
to talk, relax, do homework, and
create art. An exhibition of teens’ drawings, paintings, collages,
and more, organized by librarian Rodger Taylor in collaboration
with the High School of Art & Design, opens at Grand Central on
April 30 and runs through the end of June. Come check it out!
Math Gaming: Chess and Tangrams
Explore how patterns help your chess game and find out how you
can create art with hidden shapes.
