Studentsmay participate in a community art project from its conception to its completion. Using their own developed criteria, students will collaborate to design and create a mosaic mural. AHCGroup is the local, global business firm sponsoring the project.
The firms link is www.AHCGroup.com. You can refer also to www.worldincbook.com for a sense of their world of work which we will be encompassing in the mural.
This commision gives Odyssey the opportunity to administer students in creating an original mosaic mural for a local, global business. This is a great chance for Odyssey’s alumni to learn new skills associated with investigation of a real world (authentic) topic of interest.
Guidance and instruction involves the following topics:
• A history of mosaics to contemporary design
• Understanding high stakes when creating art for permanent exhibition.
• Giving and receiving feedback; critiques of performances – peer review
• Time management
• Organizational skills
• Facilitating presentations and public relations
• Documentation
• Job shadowing; students will observe risks that accompany all creative works in progress.
• Accountability; each student has a job to perform that will result in a real project.
It is a rare opportunity to find this level of participation in a Community Project. If you do commit, I guarantee a meaningful experience unlike any other. Look through the Public art pages in this website to learn more.
