Getting closer to the Celebration

The project is moving towards the celebration. We will mount all the student boots in the lobby of the library at Roger Williams University. They will be there for two weeks. Then we move to the Providence Art Club for the real celebration.

Picking Up the Boots

Today we picked up all the student boots from Central Falls High School. It seemed like we were stealing their patrimony as staff from the main office came by, students walking the halls came by, and students who had painted boots wanted to see them. Susan had laid the mass of boots on a table to photograph them. It was the first time all the boots were consorting with each other. What a variety there are. Tomorrow, we go to Roger Williams University to install the boot in the library lobby. See you there!.

Looking inside the classroom

All of those of us who have participated in the project have realized that the classroom experiences were the heart of the project. Below is a slide show of the process of painting the boots.
