IDENTITY 2011

I am Provo. I am UVU. I am a mentor, I am a student. I am art. I am Identity 2011.

“Open Your ‘I’”

“I’ve grown certain that the root of all fear is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are.” Identity 2011 is a project designed not only for the senior status Visual Art students to identify who they are as an artist, but to also help provide troubled youth within our own community high school, Summit High, with the opportunity to work with artists to discover their own identity.

We as artists and students will display not only our own artwork, but the artwork created by the troubled youth in a professional, “gallery stroll”. An unprecedented attendance for Identity 2011 will be sure to gather attention not only to historic downtown Provo area, but more importantly to art as well.

As you stroll through the gallery of works, listen to the engaging tunes of the band, “Holy Water Buffalo”, appreciate the talent of local artists, and enjoy the night life of Historic Downtown Provo. We as students have been encouraged to “open our ‘I’” and discover who we truly are. We hope that the artwork displayed will not only display our talents, but our personalities as well. So, please, come and enjoy a night of art, entertainment and discovery. “Open your ‘I’” and be identified!

If you would like more information on this topic, or to schedule an interview with Alex Bigney, please call (head of marketing) at 555/555-2222 or e-mail (head of marketing) at hof@marketing.com

IMPORTANT! Summit High School meeting on Friday!

We will meet the kids we are going to work with at Summit High School this Friday, February 18th between 12:30 and 1:00. We can meet at UVU and carpool, if needed. The school is located nearby, across the freeway entrance and Geneva, kind of near the MATC. Here is a map and directions to help you find it.

Individual Artwork

Sherry sent an e-mail out to the team leads that she wanted me to post to the blog for everyone:

Hey y'all!

In speaking with Alex this evening in class, I learned a couple of things and one of them is that in order to make this come off like we want, like professionals we are striving to be, we need this event to look professional as well. So, one of his suggestions is that Management know what we're dealing with where everyone's art is concerned. So this is what I need. Please contact all in your group and have them email a copy of their work to me so I can see what we're working with. Please have them do it this week so we can start planning how to arrange things once we get a space.

If there are some who don't have their artwork online, please have them bring it to class so a photo can be taken, and please have them do this on Thursday. The sooner we get this going, the better. Time can run out faster than anyone most of your ages can imagine, so please, let's do this. If, for some reason, this is not possible, please email me and let me know.

Thanks for all you do,
Sherry

Please give the copy team some feedback!

We need catchphrases, words, and general ideas about the direction of this and the feel each of you want from it. We especially need a catchy opener for our mission statement and we would appreciate whatever you can contribute.

Please give us at least a list of adjectives or words that you feel fit the theme of "Identity" and what you feel this show is all about.

Examples:

Flux. Movement. Discovery. Challenge. Change. Diversity. Identity.

More than meets the “I”

Beauty is in the “I” of the beholder

Whatever you have, please throw it at us! It will help us come up with the best copy we can! Thanks!
