Artist in Residence

Dear Grainwood Parents,
We are looking for 15 adults to work with 2nd grade students to help develop a story with the guidance of an artist in residence. We have recruited a few 2nd grade parents already, but are in need of more volunteers. Participants will be asked to attend one of three Brainstorming sessions in January (January 11, 14, or 15th); one of three Layout, Review and Critique sessions in February (dates and times TBD); and finally, one of three observation times in March (dates and times TBD). Participants will also have a chance in February to "vote" for one of three layout options created by the artist. They are asked to "pop-in" to the school Media Center to cast their vote, by selecting their favorite layout which will be displayed on one of three bookmarks. Participants are asked to sign up for the program with Heidi Preslicka (Artist in Residence Project Coordinator) at 612-875-6630 or heidi@preslickastudio.com. Participants will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please sign up before Tuesday, January 8, 2013.
