PM Plan Goal: To create a safe space for our community to use art as one way of worshiping God together.
- Find ways to collaborate with the community in the art making process.
- Even if individuals choose to not be a part of the art making process, they should still feel it's presence in some way.
- Provide materials, designate a space and give simple and clear directions on how to engage in the art making process.
(Example: Community creates images on card stock, images are turned into stencils, stencils are printed on large paper, paper is cut into strips, strips become collage, collage becomes paper mache and turned into sculpture, sculpture is cut up and turned into vessels, vessels are used to hold candles, wax is used to create relief sculpture, etc.)
