Created by 8th grade students at Central Middle School in Hartford, Wisconsin
Title: Respect
Homeroom: Elliott
Number of students: 20
Grade: 8th
Teacher and organizer: Pamela Brandt
Dream Theme: Respect and Responsibility / Community
Materials & techniques used: Most groups used marker or paints but some added other objects including fabric. Markers
Did your group enjoy working on this project? This was a very nice way to combine art projects with the themes for our school this year.
Participants: There are 28 different works of art. Each one was created by a homeroom of 16 - 24 students. I have taken photos of the work as well as each homeroom with their work. I also had them answer the questions explaining their piece and will be sending that along with each piece.
What is your art about? Respect. Everyone should have and show respect. It was given to us.
Our school's theme this year is respect and responsibility. Each trimester we focus on how students can show this through self, others and the environment. Each grade was given a different component of this - 6th grade - environment, 7th grade - self, and 8th grade - others. I will be sending along a handout that was given to each homeroom to use in completing this project.

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?
