LEAP Middle School Initiative: The Peace Paper

For the spring 2017 semester, CAM’s department of Learning and Engagement invited local artists WORK/ PLAY, Danielle and Kevin McCoy, to share their multifaceted practice with LEAP Middle School Initiative. In response to the present historical moment of global unrest, students were asked to consider their own individual ideas about peace—and then to convey those ideas through collage and text. The format of a newspaper felt appropriate for the collected artworks, as well as an art-making activity that combined the handmade with industrial processes of imagery production. For the exhibition, select student compositions are displayed on the wall, and the newspapers are available to visitors while supplies last.
