Show Description: “Trust the Process" is an art exhibition showcasing collaborative works between teachers and students (mentors and mentees). It's about the trust shared when a teacher guides a student's artistic journey and when a student invites their teacher into their creative process. It’s also about the many ways that students inspire teachers in their art practice. Through these collaborations, mentors and mentees explore new ideas and techniques together. Join us to witness the beautiful bond between teacher and student, where trust fuels creativity and learning.
Focusing on the theme, “Trust the Process” we ask that youaddress the student/relationship and the many ways that we collaborate with our students in the creation of art. As educators we are asked to inspire our students. But often our students become an inspiration to us. It is through the collaborative relationship that depth of content and purpose grow and we learn to trust the process of creation. We envision you making art in collaboration with those whom you teach. This can be by sharing a common prompt, creating a shared artwork such as exquisite corps, or responding to the recognized unilateral relationship that our students have on our own artmaking.
