After developing and facilitating the outreach mosaic program successfully for <br /> three years, I believe we are ready to dream even bigger. Working closely with Melanie <br /> Hatz-Levinson, Curator of Exhibits,the next step in developing an artist in residence <br /> program is essential for propelling the impact of the museum's long term community <br /> outreach goals forward. - <br /> In this age, artist means creative thinker and doer. It is not confined to traditional <br /> mediums and processes. Teaching children to think creatively enhances every aspect of <br /> their growth, and enables them for an ever changing future. Combining curriculum ideals <br /> strengthens the understanding and connections that fresh young minds thrive upon. <br /> Providing opportunities to experience common concepts in new ways is progress. Doing <br /> so in a manner that is thought provoking, well organized,timely, and exciting is the <br /> challenge. <br /> I believe that Kidzu Children's Museum has the potential and desire to give this to the <br /> Orange County community. In this transitional time for the museum, programming must <br /> move forward as building and construction plans move forward. It must work together to <br /> engage and excite the community while building(literally and figuratively)for the future <br /> of the museum. Thank you for considering our grant request, and for all of the support of <br /> our wonderful mosaic outreach program. I can attest that it has brought many children a <br /> lasting, memorable,unique experience,while giving me joy in sharing my art, as well as <br /> extending my understanding and experience as an art educator. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jeannette Brossart <br />
