Every year students from Prince George’s County Public Schools build houses — YES, HOUSES! The teens serve as carpenters, floor installers, plumbers, electricians, etc. and even decorate the completed house with rented furniture so realtors can show & sell it. (Proceeds fund the next year’s project.)
This year, rather than use rental art, they recruited an artist — me!! — and a photographer, to supply the art. How cool is that!! I pulled together photos of about 200 of my works, from oils, to water media and digital art, and invited my 7 Palettes friends to contribute as well. The students then selected a number of pieces to complement their visions for the various rooms.
Here’s the fabulous 2018 house. Next post, I’ll show you the art pieces the students chose.
2018 PGCPS House and Proud Teachers
wonderful project !
Thanks, Chris! Just looked for you on Facebook so we could have a conversation & long-overdue catch-up. Hope you’re doing well and turning out plenty of art! I’ve been busy on my art lately too. It goes in fits and starts. At the moment I’m having a fit about re-starting! LOL.
Best wishes on this worthy project and have fun!
