2019 Mentorship Summer Project

During the school year, our Mentorship program primarily focuses on two dimensional pieces. However, during the summer we expand our programming through 3D sculpture. Each student who participated in our summer program received a minimum of 35 hours of hands-on instruction in sculpture planning and building techniques.

This outdoor installation is the final product of our week-long Mentorship summer program. Students also learned to navigate through disposable culture, questioning the true value of objects and recycling them to create profound meaning by giving discarded objects a new life.

Leading this summer program was John Wolfe, a local painter and sculptor whose work can be seen at JRB Gallery. Steel structures were created by local artist Dan Garrett. The participating students had multiple artist mentors throughout the week.
