Goal

The goal of the “Eyes on Boards” project is to explore the power of vision—both literal and symbolic—through collaborative art. By focusing on the motif of eyes, students will reflect on how they see the world, how they are seen by others, and how art can serve as a powerful form of communication. Whether through personal vision boards or interactive installations, this project invites students to express their perspectives, spark curiosity, and transform everyday spaces into thought-provoking visual experiences. It’s a celebration of observation, imagination, and the many ways we connect through what we see—and what we choose to show.

Benefits to my students

Community art installations are a powerful form of visual storytelling. Unlike temporary projects, they leave a lasting legacy—connecting students, staff, and stakeholders across generations. These works serve as a shared voice, sparking inspiration and dialogue within the school community for years to come.  

 

Budget Narrative

All necessary supplies for the “Eyes on Boards” collaborative art installation will be purchased from Art Supplies, with the exception of the wooden planks needed for the artwork. Due to the cost of lumber, I plan to reach out to a community member who may be able to donate their time and tools to cut and provide the wood.

I believe this project will spark meaningful narratives between students, faculty, and community leaders, and leave a lasting impact on our school environment. Thank you for your consideration and support.
