The art parade

So for my sister and all others interested:
The art parade was an "art" "parade." Much of the genesis came from a collabAttack idea (collabAttack being the art collaborative I'm part of) and was fulfilled as a Visual Thinking project in the art department. Four VisThink classes worked on semester-long projects for the parade, including costumes and sound devices (I won't go into the full assignments here). I helped critique some of the costumes as a guest artist. I also contributed to the research that went behind the sound devices. Members of the music department joined in on parade day.

The campus and parts of town were blocked off on parade day and the 80+ participants paraded through campus and town (in the rain, I should add). The police helped out and the mayor got really mad but Sonya Evanesko (art dept faculty) came to the rescue. What a parade!
