Idea
Jessica thinks this garment made of wood would be cool for Kristin Powers's story, as she is a founder of Green Tigers.

Please respond to this post with the following information: community, medium, why?
The answers you have may not be definitive, but we need to begin to narrow our views. We all have several interests, but the sooner we can move forward from the "brainstorming" phase, the sooner we can start producing art! Only 7 weeks left....
LEZZ DO IT

Today things got moving. We better organized the communities we wish to explore and discussed interesting mediums. A large part of our discussion was about how we could mix mediums and create a final project that was artistically all-encompassing.
In an effort to let our imaginations blossom, we will no longer ask for permission to pursue an unusual idea. If it is feasibly possible, and if we want to do it, we will make it happen.
Our topics/communities/groups that we expressed interest in are:
- women's shelter
- homeless
- parents/people in prison
- immigrants/refugees
- drag queens
- terminally ill
- mental sickness
- elderly
From these (and possibly others), we will start to gather resources, form collaborations with other students, and eventually finalize a project we wish to create.

In the absence of Will and Pierce, our original plans were sort of thrown out the window and we created an impromptu agenda. The group discussed potential art mediums and groups in the community they wish to explore and expose. Some of us also demonstrated our talents as artists by showing visual arts pieces, photographs, and reading poems. Everyone has such great skill and incredible talent!
Kane, who partnered up with Will to do the Poetic Portraits of a Revolution project in Egypt and Tunisia, came in to speak about his experiences exploring a foreign culture and community. His revelations helped all of us streamline our broad ideas and create a vision for where we want to take this project.
In an effort to keep organized, the last moments of the meeting were spent writing the potential communities and mediums each individual wishes to explore on a sticky note. They were then all posted on a wall and organized based on similarities.
Looking forward to next week!
Feel better Will!
