Fun with the Alphabet

Baltimore artist Lauren P. Adams worked with children staying at The Johns Hopkins Hospital to create an artful upper-case alphabet to exist displayed in the Bloomberg Children's Center. Adams taught the children a technique calledpapel picado, for creating newspaper cut-outs, which were transformed into colorful silkscreens by Baltimore Print Studios. Additional alphabet-themed artworks include Scott Teplin'sAlphabet for Alphaville, a playful set of letters featuring intricate and fanciful scenes, and Jeffrey Mitchell'southABCDEFGHI<3U.

The alphabet theme continues outside the Bloomberg Children'south Centre, where the 26 colors that artist Spencer Finch used on the hospital'due south giant curtain wall are displayed in alphabetical order past color proper name.
