QUEST Class, at Southeast Elementary, in Meridian, Mississippi

Created by Students in Mrs. Dana Pippen’s Tuesday’s QUEST Class, at Southeast Elementary, in Meridian, Mississippi

 

Title: Dream Rocket in Space

 

Teacher: Mrs. Dana Pippen

 

Homeroom: Mr. Germany and Mrs. Powell

 

Dream Theme: Space

 

Materials & techniques used: We used fabric paint to create the miniature dream rocket, the planets, stars and the group information on our panel. We used sharpies to create the individual panels on the miniature dream rocket.

 

Participants: Matheson, Dylan, Quacedric, Jaylon, Kaelin, Jake, Eli, Kaity, Ava and Mrs. Pippen

 

What is your art about? We created a miniature Dream Rocket in space to showcase the different ideas our class had for creating a better world. The ideas were: recycle, clean up trash, create electric car charging stations on our roads, reuse old wrecked trains, and make better medicines.

 

 

How can I make a difference?

In 2008, a group of educators and artists formed the International Fiber Collaborative (IFC) a non-profit organization with a mission to create deeper learning experiences through art, collaboration, and cross-curricular programming for individuals and their communities.

IFC’s current initiative, The Dream Rocket Project, started in 2009 has exhibited submissions in over 105 venues; in 2014 submissions will be connected side by side to wrap a 363’ Saturn V Moon Rocket replica at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL (48’ taller than the Statue of Liberty).

With every artwork received a student has had to ask; what is my dream for my future, and the future of my community and our world? How can students across our nation with many skills collaborate to make a difference? How can creativity and other subjects such as space, technology, science, and leadership inspire innovation? How can I make a difference?
