Created by Chloe, Farial, & Sarah, students at North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Georgia

 

 

 

 

Title: Our dreams of the future.

 

 

 

 

Teacher and Organizer: Debi West

 

 

 

 

Dream Theme: Dare to dream/ Imagination

 

 

 

 

Materials & techniques used: Oil Pastel, water color, sharpie, charcoal, paint and collage

We used traditional art media, acrylic, collage, oil pastel, graphite, charcoal to tell our stories and then we laminated them to weather proof them. Several students worked collaboratively on the 2' x 2' panels, while others worked independently and then found works that mirrored their theme and put them together to create panels.

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?
