The Elements Kiosk was a collaboration with middle school art teacher, Jan Louise Kusske. We devised a copper poetry and fabrication studio project for her at the time only ever Public Art Class. The students showed their hard work and celebrated at the Ordway Children’s Festival, St. Paul, 2010. The elements celebrates the forces of nature, Air, Water, Earth, Fire and Animals

some of the students served as docents at the festival

my mini model

this student's panel had a poem about Prometheus - the fire side

this student's artwork featured a glacier

this was my sample, students were asked to write a poem from the perspective of their chosen element

these students both worked in the element of fire

from candles to casting wax to casting metal
sweet success

work is ready
