The Color of
My Dream
San Francisco Art Education Project
Working with the San Francisco Art Education Project, I conceived
and directed a city wide project involving seven artists/ educators
and over 750 kids from various schools. The students were presented
with information about butterflies and the concep/metaphort of metamorphosis
from a variety of stand points (scientific, artistic, poetic etc..)
Then each student was given a butterfly template on which to record
their own impression and understandings of change and hope. The
resulting flock of butterflies were presented at several locations
such as Zeum in San Francisco, the Art Gallery at San Francisco
State University, and the Richmond Community Health Center in Richmond,
California.
