By design: ArtCenter plants poppy seeds on its campus on Jan. 24

Artists use every experience to inform their creations, and the Eaton fire is no different.

Ideas of loss and destruction were raw material for art installations produced by professors and students from the acclaimed ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. The school also hosted students from Odyssey Charter Schools which lost one of its campuses to the blaze. ArtCenter members are thinking up new ways to rebuild Altadena.

Next weekend, the energy will go toward a more natural theme.
