Tuesday Jethro came to class and shared with us a bit about some of the projects he has done with his students. He is an art teacher at a high school here in Utah.The project I loved best that he talked about was this fold up art gallery that he built a couple years back, to give students a gallery space to show their work.
Whats awesome about this is that it is a gallery that can be transported and placed almost anywhere. So kids can have their gallery displayed at a school board meeting, or at a park or n the hallway of their school.Where ever they feel their show would best be displayed.
The other thing I love about this portable gallery is that it gives students a clear goal to work toward when they are creating art pieces. they know their work will be shown and that changes how you work, and why you work.their is more purpose to pieces, and the students get to curate a real show. Something they may never get to do again.
