For the past four years I have been working on an installation art piece, Pick Up Your Pencils, Begin. It is a large sculpture (15 feet tall and 28 feet wide) commenting on the impact of standardized testing on our educational system.
Shaped in the form of a bell curve, it is entirely made from 1000's of pencils. The issues include the decline of the arts and crafts in our schools due to increased pressures to measure academic performance. Ironically, the mission statement for every school and school district include creativity and problem solving, two skills that the arts can engage.
Share the goal. Become part of this advocacy for the arts. The exhibition Pick Up Your Pencils, Begin is up for the first time and if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area you can visit the work.
