Educating our community Through Art
Author: Christina A. Martin
Planning Unit: Russell County CES
Major Program: Arts and Community Health
Plan of Work: Skills Development through Youth Development
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Russell Co. 4-H youth created a collaborative art project for display for heart health month (February). Three hundred sixty-five youth, created Piet Mondrian hearts using the primary color pallet. By looking at the work of this artist, youth could see how primary colors can be used in art-making. These hearts were displayed at Russell County Public Library along with Cooperative Extension Service literature related to cardiovascular health; the public was also provided with CES heart-healthy recipes.
Conveying messages through art matters to all ages. Art can help inform, inspire, and persuade others to take action. Art can also help us remember a message for longer periods of time than just reading printed material.
