Sunday Musings- Project Ourway was an Arts Success!!
Today I went to the Azucarera gallery to retrieve my artwork. Now I have to photograph it, then I will parcel the sold pieces out to their respective buyers. So sad to see the loved ones go... However, I maintain copyright so I'll have digital reproductions of the original art available in smaller and more affordable scale here on the website!
Last night my students exhibited a wonderful artstravaganza, a phenomenal Project Ourway!
The event was such a wonderful mix of all forms of art; music, animation, performance, design, fashion and expression it was exhilarating! One of my favorite parts was the interactive 'what is art' wall at the entrance of the event. I really like the balloon by my design student Hanna also!
To think this is a student driven,designed, created event is just so impressive there are no words for it!
I've included some pen drawings by artist James Griffiths - click this thumbnail to see the full image.
I read a poem from the Nuyorican Poets cafe and my hub performed in one of the short one-act plays along with the students.
Here are some more pics of the night and a video of the show's finale - a fashion show
