31、d a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in hot soapy water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether i

Caring and independent.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that t
39、he answer is yes and finds that arts-based museum programs are credited with changing the course of alumnis (毕业生的) lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study
40、to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s.

41、years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed 75 percent of them thought the teen art program experience had the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating the family, school and their neighborhoods.

42、d, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens keen about culture even after they reach adulthood: Ninety-six percent of participan
43、ts had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in muse
44、ums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts.
