Residency Project
I would like to get the students to start a sketchbook; I will provide some prompts for self-discovery and community building. This will help promote gratitude and mindfulness in their day-to-day life. I can introduce different mediums and techniques for the book so there will be many different ways students can express themselves. The book will serve as a visual diary, a point of discussion, a visual reminder of what they have accomplished and positive things happening in their lives. I will ask them to use gel crayons, photography, paper mâché, found objects. Then we can make copies of select pages of the book to collage them together into a bigger piece of work. An example of a possible sketchbook project can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi6BGaAXsWY
