Art in Community among the Poor

Homeless


"This is a collaborative project with a class of underprivileged teen aged girls. We developed the story and animation together around an eaten apple and the seeds that remained.

In the story the apple is eaten, the two seeds run from the scene and one cries about loosing its home while the other is comforting. They are thrown in the trash where they find a new home, a rotten apple. Then they feel an earthquake and are tossed through the air onto the soil."

By the end of our months in a row of Tuesday classes spent on the parts of the animation the girls finally said, 'enough let's finish it already!'
