Art

Nature of Life
Horace Mann Elementary School, San Jose, California
This site-specific public art project consisted of five smaller projects. Each of these works was intended to provide an interactive, aesthetic learning experience for the students, and to familiarize them with the flora and fauna of their local environment. In this way the project allowed for a broadening of the viewer’s sense of place and memory. Several of the pieces also offered the potential for a hands on experience for the students through the process of making molds and/or rubbings of portions of the piece.
