Bordeaux is an elementary school located in Northwest Nashville. I first came to learn about this school when I was asked to make a presentation about being an artist for career day at the end of the 2010/2011 school year. The students were very inquisitive about my work and so I knew--right away--that I wanted to figure out a project that we could work on together . . . I contacted the art instructor, Cheryl Westberry, towards the beginning of the fall semester and we decided that the best fit for Deliciously Happy would be the incoming 4th graders, 17 students. It has been such a great experience to learn about the students! I look forward to our visits and I'm excited for them to come to the gallery and see their work in March! Learn more about Bordeaux here. And, find out about Northwest Nashville here.
"A pre-requisite for an artwork that manifests a counter-consciousness is that the separation which existed between the artist and the audience is closed, that they become mutually engaged, to the point where the audience become the rationale in both the making and the reception of the work." - Stephen Willats, Society Through Art
