PROJECT NARRATIVE
1
Christine Donnell School of the Arts
2011 Artist in Residency Project Request for Proposal
1. Describe the proposed project and the school in which it will be implemented.
• Describe the school's mission and the community it serves.
• If this is a collaboration, please identify the professional teaching artist and describe how you
will work together to accomplish the stated outcomes.
Christine Donnell School of the Arts (CDSA) is a public magnet school in the Meridian School District
established seven years ago. We anticipate over 500 students for the upcoming school year in grades K
through 7. Our students come from a wide range of economic and ethnic backgrounds; we mirror the
Meridian School District average for numbers of students receiving free and reduced lunches and for
English Language Learners. CDSA students are chosen for attendance by parent referral and a lottery
system. We are dedicated to teaching academics through and with the arts. Our mission statement
reads: "We are an innovative community of learners committed to building character and knowledge
while encouraging individuality through the arts...Tomorrow begins with us!"
We would like to propose a "Legacy Project" for our school's 2011-2012 7`h grade class. Far the past
four years, we have been able to accomplish a project of this type for the exiting class. The project is a
collaboration with a local artist to design, build, and dedicate a public art piece to our school community
that is a reflection and remembrance of each student participant. The Legacy Public Art Project is a
culminating art experience for students that allow them to apply the elements and principles of design
that most students have been taught over a number of years at our art school. Many students return to
CDSA to visit their class public art piece and younger students look forward to creating their piece in the
future. This project is a powerful, life changing experience for our school.
For this Legacy Project we would Pike our students to work with sculptor Marshall Sinclair to design
and build a metal sculpture that will be representative of them and their school class.
2. Describe the population of students expected to benefit from the project
• Include who, how many, and how they will be chosen.
• What specific needs do these populations have, and how will your proposed project address
those needs?
All of our seventh grade class, approximately 66 students, will be primary participants in the project.
Since this will be their last year in our school, we want them to participa#e in an authentic, artistic
project. In doing so, they are able to leave a personal contribution as a part of an art legacy. Because
we have a wider range of grade levels than typical Meridian schools, we encourage students to learn
from each other. Our oldest class is looked to as role models for our younger students. So, all of our
student body (present and future) will derive some benefit from the project as they teach through their
example and leave a lasting legacy.
3. Identify what you would like participants to know or be able to do as an outcome of your
project.
• Describe the specific concepts, elements, or skills that will be learned by the participants and
will serve as criteria to assess student learning.
We want our students to experience hands on authentic learning in the arts. Our seventh graders will
gain experience in the lifelong skills of planning, drafting, and revision. They wil! become fafmiliar with
the working process of a public artist and use their knowledge of the elements of art and principles of
design. They will actively participate in development of an art piece from conception to installation and
will leave a lasting representation of themselves as competent, creative {earners in our school. Students
will hone their public speaking skills to speak intelligently about their intent, process, and fabrication of
their 2012 Legacy Project.
Christine Donnell staff, in conjunction with Idaho Arts Commission, worked on valid documentation of
student learning during artist in residence projects last year. We will use this process to assess student
learning in the Legacy Project. Before, during, and after the project we will use video to document the
learning of three students and their responses to the questions:
• What is public art?
• Why have public art?
• What have you (earned about yourself as an artist?
~ Describe what this piece means to you as a legacy project?
Their responses will provide a reflective glimpse into the project as seen by students.
We will document the process throughout by collecting photographs, video, audio, or writings. This
project lends itself to natural assessment of student learning as they meet deadlines such as the
proposal to the school board and work toward completion of the final installation. Evidence of using the
elements of art, principles of design and conceptual thought processes will be found in their final piece.
Other students in our school will become aware of this process and see it come alive as it's built.
The following District Art and Idaho State Language Arts Standards will be met through the process of
this project.
IVIFddle School Visnal Arts: Grade Level Expectations
The Visual Arts experience at the Middle School allows students to experience the elements and principles of
design, two and three-dimensional artwork, lsasic clay techniques, lost wax casting techniques, as well as art history
and careers in the visual arts fields.

7.LA.6.3.5 Apply technical skills to produce visuals that communicate to the audience.
4. Describe the project activities.
• What learning activities are planned to help students achieve the proposed project's
anticipated outcomes?
• Include lesson plans or learning guides, and a timeline or schedule of the learning sequence.
• What individual artists, educators, or consultants will be involved, and what are their roles,
qualifications, and responsibilities?
• Describe how materials, equipment, space, and facility requirements will be me#.
We have divided our project into four phases:
i. Understanding Public Art and Legacy. Discussions/activities during the first quarter of the 2011/2012
school year.
Students will explore what public art is, critique public art using art elements and principles of design,
discuss possible roles or functions of public art, and learn about special considerations in public art {such
as safety, maintenance, and appropriate content). Students will explore the process of an artist's
proposal. We will review proposals available from Boise City Arts and History Department and Marshall
Sinclair's public art proposal for South East Neighborhood Association project.
This learning will happen in classrooms at Christine Donnell. Our middle level team including: Reading
Teacher, Shawna Exline, Writing Teacher, Frith Stevenson, and Visual Art Teacher, Mary Chapin, will
tailor lessons about public art in their classraoms. They will use parts of lessons created by Jacksonville's
Cultural Council and Boise City Arts Commission along with their own materials developed over past
legacy projects. We will invite experts from Boise City Arts and History and Meridian Arts Commission
to speak to students about public art. We will look at a variety of public art in our area either by field
trip or virtual field trip.
During this time frame, Marshall Sinclair, our artist, will introduce himself and his sculptural art to the
students.
t
2. Design a "2012 legacy" Sculpture far installation at Christine Donnell School of the Arts. Discussions
and work during the 2nd quarter fvr 2011/2012 school year.
Students working with MarshaN Sinclair will decide on a unifying theme for our piece, choose a site on
our school's campus for the work to be permanently displayed, create a collective design for the
sculpture, and write a proposal for submission to the Meridian School District Board for approval. Mr.
Sinclair will guide students through the conceptual thought and design process. Mrs. Exline, Mrs.
Stevenson, and Mrs. Chapin will provide support for the i~naf proposal prior to submission. Our
principal, Tina Perry, will review the proposal prior to submission to Meridian Schoo! Board.
3. Building. Work during the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter of our school year.
Students, under the direction of Marshall Sinclair, will create their individual piece of the sculpture out
of wax that relates to the common theme pushed further by developing individual content. This work
will be accomplished during class time using materials supplied by the artist and existing tools at school.
Mr. Sinclair will take their wax sculptures to his studio and Boise State University Sculpture Lab to make
and complete molds.
Mr. Sinclair will arrange far a "metal pour" at our school after regular school hours. Students and
families will be encouraged to watch their pieces being poured. The Boise State Sculpture Guild will be
invited to assist with the pour as a service project to the community.
During class time, under Mr. Sinciair's direction, students will devest their molds and plan assemblage.
Mr. Sinclair will take the cleaned pieces to his studio for welding and clean up.
Mr. Sinclair will return assembled sculpture to Christine Donnell for final patina and finish with students.
Ne wilt also be responsible far final mounting of sculpture in the site selected.
4. Installation teremany. A ceremony will be held during the end of our fourth quarter 2012. Students will
speak about their intent, process, and fabrication of the 2012 Legacy Protect. A community celebration
for all participants will follow. The ceremony will be planned by the middle level team at Christine
Donnell and attended by Marshall Sinclair.

Marshall Sinclair -
Artist Statement
I am an emerging artist currently based out of Boise, Idaho having•lived and studied throughout the
United States and Europe. In addition to working as a public artist, sculptor, 3D modeler, and graphic
designer I have been dedicating much of my time developing my own foundry, using it as a tool to
provide further integration of casting and sculptural processes with the public. I have a strong interest
in proving the public with opportunities of involvement previously unobtainable by hosting events and
other activities at various venues and schools throughout the valley.
The focus of my current body of work concentrates on the unseen beauties residing within objects in _
nature overshadowed by technological advances and material objects that drive our everyday lives. ft is
derived through the use of traditional practices that capture permeable material forms from series of
networks and decay, often underlying the basis of interaction and the replacement of the visible
achieved by the use of prototyping and modern mechanical devices. It is also an analysis of the
metaphorical implications of the digital ages' emphasis on what is readily apparent by the creating of
objects using innate materials subject to rapid decay.
