Artist in Residence (A.I.R) Program

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. |
