ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
LIVING AERIAL ART
The sky is the limit with our final Artist in Residence for this year!
On June 12th, 13th and 14th, Dorothy Fox will host a very special residency. Our students will get the chance to work with Daniel Dancer, an artist who will make each of them part of a living work of art!
For the beginning of the residency, Daniel will talk about perspective and point of view with the students. After giving a history of geoglyphs (art that can't be seen at ground level but can be seen from a distance in the sky) and similar art projects, Daniel will work with students to plot out the artwork on our playground.
All Dorothy Fox students will participate and a piece of art will be revealed! Every student will receive their own photograph of the project to take home. Students will be asked to wear a colored t-shirt on the day of the photograph. As we get closer to the event, we will be in touch about t-shirt colors.
To make this residency work, we are looking for donations of the following items. Please contact Amanda Carter-Jura if you have access to any of these items jurababy2@gmail.com. Thank you!
20 bags of black dyed mulch
2 cans of inverted turf marking paint
50 survey flags
Please stay tuned! More information will come!

Passing some info on from WSDOT
ART CONTEST - WSDOT
Know a child who loves the earth and art? WSDOT has a contest for them.
"Keeping Washington Beautiful/Reducing Roadside Litter" No one likes litter along the roadway. We don't like seeing it marring our highways and we know the public doesn't either. That's where our state's young artists come in. We're creating new Adopt-a-Highway automobile litter bags. The bags help physically contain trash, of course, but we also want to help spread our litter prevention message on the outside. And we need some new artwork reminding everyone how preventing litter helps keep our state beautiful.
