Self- Evaluation
Wynde and I worked on creating a short Kick Starter for a long term project that Wynde has been working on. This project is for the third graders of Robert Lee Elementary School. To brief you on what has already been done prior to this kick starter, Wynde did a fund raiser at blue fugue, which raised enough money to buy all of the third graders each a camera and film. Then she collaborated with their art teacher and began teaching them photography. The kids all shoot pictures and write stories to go along with them.
At this point, the kickstarter which we are doing is to raise enough money (close to 800 dollars), to create a book for the kids photography. The purpose of this project is to show the children what an effect art can have on people, and to broaden their learning experiences of art.
We filmed the majority of footage at Robert Lee Elementary and then used animation to fill in the blanks. I also spoke with the owner of Beale Street, who is considering making a donation to the project after one of the graduation parties Friday night. We are proposing that a drink special be made, and that a portion of those earnings go to the project.
Along with a few television and radio stations in town as well as online media and social networking, we hope that this kick starter will be enough to raise the money needed to make this project work.
I think that it is a fantastic project and I am glad to be a part of something that is going to make such a difference. Wynde and I worked really well together, and I was proud that she let me be involved in such an honorable cause.
