The classes have been going well. While Cindy was gone I met with the class on the assigned class days and we worked together on the exhibit for Maine Audubon. The first segment of the exhibit will show deep connection and belief in the power of the Maine landscape. This first section of artwork will capture the sense of place and the spirit of Maine the way it is now. It will set the stage for visitors. It will remind visitors of their own connection and love for Maine. It nicely fits the mission of Maine Audubon. For this section we have a wall that is 10 feet long and 8 feet tall. A couple of students will be doing short documentary movies for this section. The other students have decided that they will place their artwork in windows or old window frames. This will give visitors the perspective of looking out their windows at Maine the way the students perceive it. Photography, painting, and drawing will be incorporated, and maybe even a car door.
The second segment of the exhibit will incorporate LePage's Phase 1 Regulatory Reform Proposals. Students will create a second piece of art that show how these reforms will weaken or eliminate environmental laws passed in 2000-2010. On April 2nd, the class will be taking a field trip to the Portland Art Museum and the branch of Maine Audubon where the exhibit will be placed.
Today the class will be meeting in the art gallery here on campus. I'm not sure what Cindy has up her sleeve but it will be interesting to find out.....
