My theme is Community. I decided to make an artist\u2019s book about art community in NYC and use element of pasta to interoperate the meaning. My inspiration is from an art event at The Watson Hotel held by Open Heart Initiative. I found that art is a more powerful tool that connects people together as a community. The Watson Hotel is a family shelter in NYC and all the families speak Spanish. We taught children how to make necklaces using pasta with different colors. Most of the volunteers could not speak Spanish but we still built good relationships with each other through the art-making process. Moreover, there were many parents getting involved in the activities and making necklaces with their children.The experience inspired me to arrange different colored pasta. Different colors visualize different people in the art events; the composition visualizes the connection we build through the artmaking process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15840,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[40],"class_list":["post-15837","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-integrative-studio-seminar-2","tag-visual-culture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
