This
past Spring Semester I directed a program that created workshops for
Syracuse City High School
students. At the workshops Ron Derutte and
I instructed the students to carve into sand molds, and showed
them how to prepare the molds for casting aluminum metal into them. Ron
and I poured Aluminum
into the all the molds,
and latter broke the molds open for the students to get there
sculptures. We later
had a short slide
presentation on Ron and my artwork, we wanted to expose some of the
different
materials an
artist can use. Workshops like this could have never happened with out
the support of the Syracuse
University Sculpture Departments and the Partnership For Better
Education's support.
I hope in the Spring of 2008 to have another round of workshops.
