Facu lty member Lisa Gordillo designed this project to connect her students acr oss the distances they’re feeling. \n\nStudents learned about a traditio nal Guatemalan kite – the barrilete\, made Guatemalan recipes such as ch ilaquiles and chirmol\, read works by Guatemalan writers such as Rigoberta Menchu and Antonio L. Cota Garcia\, and studied paintings by Carlos Merid a. The class also learned about U.S.-based artists who create community co nnections\, such as Theaster Gates.\n\nStudent Sarah Arnold based her kite design on a mandala\, then installed it in a forest. Erin Mauk was intere sted in Guatemala’s quetzal bird - her kite was inspired by the bird’s mythology and it’s long\, flowing tail. Marah Hackman drew inspiration from Michigan’s Northern Lights. \n\nEach student made their own barrile te\, and hosted a picnic with the people in their household. Then they cam e back together to share what they made\, so that everyone felt connected. Together\, the students created a patchwork event – with many different things happening in different places\, but everyone working together. \n \nView student artists' 'Kites and Community' gallery\, and all of the Ou tdoor Sculpture 2020 collection here\n\nAbout the Outdoor Sculpture class: \n\nThis class is taught by Lisa Gordillo (VPA). This is Michigan Tech’s first fully-online sculpture class. Students focus on making works or art outside\, and use the landscape around them as their studio. Because we ’re several months into “social distancing” and many folks are longi ng for connection\, Gordillo worked to make a class that creates connectio ns with community (even at a distance). Student sculptors consider art\, e cology\, and social connection as they make new works of art this summer. For more details\, view the VPA blog post here LOCATION: SUMMARY:Kites and Community!

Facu lty member Lisa Gordillo designed this project to connect her students acr oss the distances they’re feeling. \n\nStudents learned about a traditio nal Guatemalan kite – the barrilete\, made Guatemalan recipes such as ch ilaquiles and chirmol\, read works by Guatemalan writers such as Rigoberta Menchu and Antonio L. Cota Garcia\, and studied paintings by Carlos Merid a. The class also learned about U.S.-based artists who create community co nnections\, such as Theaster Gates.\n\nStudent Sarah Arnold based her kite design on a mandala\, then installed it in a forest. Erin Mauk was intere sted in Guatemala’s quetzal bird - her kite was inspired by the bird’s mythology and it’s long\, flowing tail. Marah Hackman drew inspiration from Michigan’s Northern Lights. \n\nEach student made their own barrile te\, and hosted a picnic with the people in their household. Then they cam e back together to share what they made\, so that everyone felt connected. Together\, the students created a patchwork event – with many different things happening in different places\, but everyone working together. \n \nView student artists' 'Kites and Community' gallery\, and all of the Ou tdoor Sculpture 2020 collection here\n\nAbout the Outdoor Sculpture class: \n\nThis class is taught by Lisa Gordillo (VPA). This is Michigan Tech’s first fully-online sculpture class. Students focus on making works or art outside\, and use the landscape around them as their studio.
