Artwork 1: Essay by Autumn
“My design is a sun, space and the phases of the moon. My theme was space my design represents, my theme because the moon and sun are in space. My theme is important to the present/future because it’s outer space.”
Artwork 2: Essay by Johnny
“My design represents my theme by showing how far we have come in the world with science and technology. My theme is important because without science it would be hard in the world without knowing anything about it. As well as it may be a great thing in the future to understand more about it. WE can discover great things in the future with science. Hopefully we can things that we never dreamed about doing.”
Artwork 3: Essay by Hayley
“My design represents the theme of equality and energy. The rainbow background symbolizes the equality of all people. The yin-yang symbolizes positive and negative energy all throughout life. This theme is important in both the present and the future. This world needs to accept everyone and have complete equality.”
Artwork 4: Essay by Sarah
“My theme was science and it’s various elements. Unity is the main principle of design used in this project. It is used well because all the objects drawn have to do with nature and science. Rhythm is another principle property used in this piece because of the position of stars across the drawing and the various types of science on each branch. Movement is also used going around each branch by reading each type of science. My theme, science, is important to the present and the future so we can further advance in society.”
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?
