ART IN A BOX
Collaborating Service Organization: Salvation Army
Instructor: Joey Howard

More than 25 participants at the Salvation Army along with instructor Joey Howard explored the creative process and the use of traditional and non-traditional methods and materials to create unique works of art. Experimentation and invention was the main focus of this project. Using a variety of techniques and media such as personal mementos, photographs, found objects, and objects from nature, participants created individualized illuminated mixed media wall sculptures.
