Art All-State 2012

This was the 25th year of the Art All-State program.  Liesl and I were very fortunate to be selected as Artist/Mentors for this years workshop.  Art All-State is an event where the best high school art students are juried into the event which consist of 200 students from across the state being divided into groups of approximately 18, then are mentored by two artist and given a studio at the Worcester Art Museum. As a whole they create an art installation.  The theme of the event is " Limits-No Limits" because the students are given only two materials to work with.  The mentors pick two works from the museums collection to use as inspiration.  The students then create an installation using these pieces as inspiration and the two materials.  I was partnered with artist Carolynn Clayton.  We chose burlap and electrical wire as our groups materials. 
Here are some images of the students brainstorming and then constructing their piece.
