ART OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL GRADES THE FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT
A unique artwork made of millions of drawings.
Students' drawings will be part of a giant performance and collective
creative action!
This is a national project intended to support the rebuilding of New Orleans
by making the environmental conditions safer for its residents. The
"artworks" created by your students will be collected by armored truck and
delivered to Washington D.C. where an even exchange of the value of their
art currency for actual funds will be requested. The awareness raised by
FUNDRED is intended to support a citywide solution to health and quality of
life issues still challenging the post-disaster city. It is a method for
your students to have a meaningful hand in a coordinated national process.
The project is appropriate to introduce social studies, political science,
or art and design. Ultimately we hope your students' contributions will
demonstrate that their creative actions can make a difference. If you have a
student from New Orleans this project can be a method of reconnecting with
their home in a positive and tangible way.
