This brochure will be sent to schools and other institutions that serve youth. The goal is to have Cocoon projects at different sites throughout the City. A survey, consisting of a few well chosen questions, will be given both at the beginning and at the end of Cocoon. This will be an oral taped survey designed to detect any behavioral or personality changes which may have occurred within individual participants of Cocoon while they were involved in the program. Additionally, the art sales and exhibits along with audience response and community support will be documented for marketing purposes.
Workshops are open to the public free of charge.
There is a limit of 10 students in a workshop. Planning is an important part of our program and we have open discussions and critiques. During the first hours of each new project, participants and the artists discuss materials to be used in the project, ideas and creative planning. Class begins with a 4x8 piece of Styrofoam and scrap foamcore, acrylic paint, Styrofoam beads, cups, beads, raffia, and other found objects. The artist instructs students in design and color theory.
