Signs and Symbols: The Community Arts Initiative Artist Project

Posted on July 14, 2010 by admin

For the “Signs and Symbols” project, children from after-school programs and community organizations across Boston looked at how words and characters are paired together to convey messages. Working with Cambridge-based artist and author Caleb Neelon, the children then created signs featuring their own verbal and character-driven messages.

The Community Arts Initiative is generously supported by the Linde Family Foundation.

    I watched this …
    I watched this video with great intent. I am an artist. I have worked in special programs for young students as an artist. Then, I signed on to teach full time. I have been wanting to go back to my former lifestyle and teaching environment. This video gave me much food for thought. In the meantime, keep up the great work. Those kids will remember this forever. :-)

    Sometimes words …
    Sometimes words look back at us ;) It’s a piece of pieces and their combination is one of the best parts… what a great way to get local young people involved.
