Artist in Residence (A.I.R) Program

Picture
Site: Forsyth School
Program: My Inner Hero
Description:  Working with Cameron Fuller and art teacher Ellen DeFillipo, we encouraged students to design their idea of a personal inner hero.  These drawings were turned into paper puppets that were brought to life using stop motion animation.  The puppets acted out or introduced their quality.  Next students designed a costume based on their inner hero.  Finally students created a short video action dressed as their inner hero and wore their inner hero costumes to the Halloween Parade.

Art with Us through St. Louis Art Museum

Sites: Cass Youth and Family Center and Lincoln Extension Summer Program. 
Program:  Personal Hero Banners
Description:  Students brainstormed about personal heroes and then created personal crests.  After a visit to SLAM to see examples of Crests and Artwork about personal history, students combined their personal crest with photo transfers of their heroes and symbols representing themselves and their own strengths. 
Site: Our Lady of Guadalupe
Program: Identity Oferenda, The Sacredness of Everday Objects
Description: Working with this primarily Mexican American audience, students explored several different art projects with roots in Mexican Culture including- Printmade Loteria Cards, Day of the Dead Skeleton caskets, Retablo Paintings, and Self Portraits after Frida Kahlo.  We displayed all of these objects in an Oferenda format that was shared with the community during the Virgin of Guadalupe celebration on December 12th.

Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts:  Fashion as Statement


Insides- A Celebration of Mental Health Month with St. Louis Center for Family Development.

Site: New Direction Academy
Description:  Students discussed the importance of mental health resources and then filled silhouettes of figures with paintings, drawings, and collage pieces, to represent what the figures might have going on inside their minds and hearts, beyond their physical appearances.              Photos by: Lyndsey Scott.
