Public Informative Art Project
Public Informative Art Project
(2004-2006)
This project was an in-school enhancement art program for Luther Burbank Middle School. Facilitated by artist and educator Mabel Negrete, the program provided (long term) workshops that were designed in combination with the school curriculum to teach and mentor students to explore the making of experimental, conceptually based and public art.
Program year 2005-2006:
* “TRANSFORMING OUR SPACES”
For this year, the Public Informative Art Project: “Transforming Our Spaces” were workshops that provided students, who did not have elective art classes, an opportunity to make art with recyclable materials, learn to explore artistically the inside and outside environments of the school as both social and ecological sites and enhance their knowledge in visual art, math, and ecology. In addition, students collectively created a public event at the end of the year that exhibited and share their work with the population of the school.
The year 2005-2006 Public Informative Art Project was made possible by the partnership of Hypersea artist Mabel Negrete with Luther Burbank Middle School and San Francisco Art Institute – Financial Aid
Program year 2004-2005:
* “ART+MATH: A World of Designs”
These were four workshops that provided students an opportunity to create a series of collaborative public/conceptual art projects that integrated math with art. We used approaches such as design, architecture, engineering plus collecting and sorting data. At the end of the school year, this program finalized into a public exhibition.
