Art Residency - Getting Prepared
Greetings!
Our classrooms will soon begin art residencies through The Right Brain Initiative
with artist and environmental educator Nancy Judd of Recycle Runway.
During the residency, students will learn about natural and human-made
materials and how Native Americans have traditionally made items. They
will learn about the hidden life and environmental and social costs of the
clothes we wear. Over the four weeks, they will also create a fashion/costume.
We need your help to make this art residency a success. Here’s how.
Collect and bring in clean recyclables by Monday, January 8th.
To create their fashion/costume, students will need a variety of materials,
many of which would usually end up in your recycle bin. Suggested materials
include aluminum cans, plastic grocery bags, bottle caps, twist-ties, string,
yarn, cassette tapes, aseptic packages, juice packets, cereal and tissue boxes,
and holiday disposables. The materials that come in will be sorted and shared
by groups in the class. We will need a lot of materials! Each classroom will also
need seven plastic two liter soda bottles.
Important: Please be sure that no materials that previously contained peanut
or tree nut ingredients are sent to school because of life threatening food allergies.
Please send all clean recyclables to your child’s classroom by Monday, January 8th.
Volunteer to sort and organize the upcycled materials.
Each classroom will need one or more volunteer to organize the materials that
are brought in by their type. Each group will also need a material kit for session
one’s challenge. Each classroom will need 25 needles pre-threaded and stuck
into a piece of cardboard. Please contact your child’s teacher to volunteer to sort
and organize the materials.
