Community Impact The children and teachers become the artists to create a large work <br />that will become a permanent part of the school. The first year that I <br />completed one of these projects I labeled the indiv idual tiles so the <br />children ended up working on two tiles each, but in subsequent years <br />I hav e found it is ev en more impactful not to do so, children (and <br />teachers) make tiles, they apply slip to tiles, they create an abstract <br />pattern on tiles and they transfer a portion of the larger art. So each <br />tile is the work of many kids, many hands, further driv ing home the <br />point that we are making something together far greater than any of <br />us could make indiv idually. I do end up contributing some to these <br />indiv idual steps, but by and large, ov er 95% of the actual creation of <br />the piece happens by the kids. All of this is made ev en more <br />impactful as we install this piece into the school, installing a beautiful, <br />meaningful work permanently on site. <br />Artist Experience I completed the tenth of these residencies in May of 2022, with each <br />one the project has ev olv ed, but I am incredibly proud of all ten and <br />of the work that the kids and I created and installed in their schools. I <br />am passionate about sharing my enthusiasm for clay as a medium <br />with the kids and about creating something in collaboration with <br />them. Outside of these projects I hav e taught clay sculpture and <br />wheelthrowing for 17 years. I also create and exhibit my own clay <br />work. <br />How do you plan to <br />market your project? <br />I will create a v ideo to accompany the project that I will share, as well <br />as photos of the piece, but the audience for the piece is primarily the <br />current and future community of the school. Early one morning <br />during a residency I remember watching all those busses roll in, <br />amidst all the turmoil in the world here was a massiv e effort still <br />underway to fight ignorance. That is the desired audience for the <br />piece, little marketing will be required as the piece will be there in their <br />school for them. <br />PROJECT/PROGRAM <br />BUDGET <br />Please fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and <br />income.
