In March, 2011, I had the privilege of working with a great group of kids in the Art Club at Monrovia Elementary School in Huntsville, AL.  We discussed photography and printmaking and then used a combination of the two disciplines to create a large painting.  Five teams of six kids applied each color over a two-day workshop using their school colors of gold and black.  The kids did all the work and now the large painting (8'x4') of their school that is now proudly displayed in the school's hallway.

Monrovia teacher Mrs. Catherine Morrison decided to create the after school Art Club because she saw the need for more art in childhood education.  She was estimating that she would have about 15-20 kids sign up.  She was surprised to see 100 names on the list (even with a $20 supply fee).  Sadly, there was not enough physical space for everyone, so only 30 were able to be in the club.  This shows that the kids, and the parents, are wanting more art in school.

These were a great group of kids to work with and they are now able to see the work that they created together everyday when they walk into school.

Please contact me if you are interested in creating a project with your school/students.
