How
to Make It Work – “It’s all about the Process”! |
||||||||||||||||||
|
It is really wonderful that you or your group is considering
participating in the creation of The Art Miles. This project was intended
to bring People closer together, to create an environment that fosters
communication and understanding between cultures, promote literacy and
to ultimately, through their own experiences, learn respect for one another.
The other major goal of this project was to “have fun”, and to provide them with “space of their own…” there is something about a big piece of white canvas that People find inviting and challenging!!! To begin with, they should choose a theme. Remember, there are the twelve miles to choose from! Some groups like to plan and design a mural ahead of time, and some rely on the spontaneity of the People. That will be entirely up to you and your group. We recommend consulting with the group. They need to know that whatever they do will be seen world wide and that their work will represent their school, organization, town, state, and country. The
only rules we require that you adhere to are 1) that no one paints over
someone else’s work and 2) they should sign their names on the back
with permanent markers along with the date completed, name of the group
and title (theme) of the mural. We
will also request the group (individually and/or group) sign a release
( waiver ) form acknowledging that by participating in this project, their
work will become exclusive property of The Art Miles Mural Project, and
that their work could be used for publication, including photos of them
working, or of the murals and parts thereof that could be used for promotional
materials or other uses deemed appropriate for the benefit of the project
or other media events. If that isn’t possible (as example, small
Children or Disabled People) a statement signed by an adult witnesses
that they exclusively created this work would be required. The
waiver can be downloaded as a "PDF
File" from the website |

We
also ask that you be cheerful and supportive when people are working.
It’s really up to you, whether you are the coach, an art teacher,
a group leader, a Mom or Dad, or just a person who loves the project and
bringing People together, to make their environment a happy and positive
one. |
