Oh wow Marla, this is just amazing. It is exciting to read all the posts and watch it unfold through your beautiful images. So creative, so imaginative – and I love how absorbed all the kids look. I really must try to do more of this at preschool – thank you so much for inspiring me 🙂
All off the bird stories are so compelling, exciting, and moving; I don’t have a favorite. Every story of the stories made me smile and cry a little. The final products are astonishing, beautiful, meaningful — any contemporary art museum worth its salt would display them. But, obviously that is not the bar by which these artworks are measured: the legacy of SWS is profound, and these children will forever be shaped by the chance to have been part of intimate creation and collaboration. Thank you Marla! Thank you SWS!
This is a really lovely project. The children’s words and work are so important, and your careful documentation shares it with us is such an authentic way. Thank you!
Marla, I love these entries about the children creating bird machines. You not only document their thoughts and their art but you photograph the creative process itself – the children in action, working together. That is an amazing and beautiful feat! Love the photo of the three heads together.
