ArtMobile
In addition to all the tools and materials students will need to create
their own masterpieces, students will work side-by-side with Judith. We will
require a room where we can set up a work station for the week--two hours in
the morning and two hours in the afternoon--a space which is large enough to
contain tables and art supplies and tools, which Open Art brings. While we
prefer to use the school's tables, the school need not supply tools and
materials. We will, however, circulate a list of "throw away items"-- such
as toilet paper rolls, string, magazines, ribbon, and small boxes such as
cereal boxes, and many more, which children can be recruited to bring from
home ahead of our visit.
At a rate of 15 students at a time brought to the work station, Judith will
orient students to the exhibits, tools and materials, and allow them to
create a piece of art based on the inspiration of the exhibit examples which
include samples of North Carolina artists as well as the masters' works.
Each student should have a minimum of a one period per visit and two visits,
to complete their art work in an unhurried fashion. Thus, a core group of
students and two or three buddy classes will have been exposed to a range of
works in the medium. The residency will culminate in either an exhibit or
performance of student art, to which parents and the community will be
invited.
