| ok,
i'm not sure how long it's gonna take to l..o..a..d
this page, but here are some pictures and comments from my time at
chilton high school (chilton, wisconsin). i was there on march 2nd and
march 16th....
{top} great piece, or what? this program featured large (well, fairly large) artist-created armatures once again. for those of you who aren't familiar with my artist-in-residence events, the large armatures present an opportunity for a group of students to work together and get on each other's nerves while trying to reach a common creative goal. (huh?) anyway, students not working on the big stuff were creating individual sculptures using the very same materials i use in the studio!! hey, don't try this at home! if that wasn't enough, we also had one class constructing large wall reliefs which was something new for me. very interesting! kudos right here to krystal kraemer, art instructor extraordinaire. besides being upbeat and fun to work with, she had great ideas for the wall relief projects. so... you've probably guessed, you can click on the images on the right to see a bigger version. on this page... The two artist-created armatures were: running cat and running dog. the gals working on the running cat are doing a fine job demonstrating construction and conversation. fourth from the top shows their progress.
The dog was substantially larger. the guys handled the challenge well; negotiating the chaotic pile of newspaper strips... ...and the dog takes shape.
