Dream Rocket Project

Skyline 7th graders participating in the Dream Rocket Project this spring. Combining science, history and art the students painted 2ft square images to submit to two separate exhibitions. Two of our paintings were displayed in San Diego, CA during the National Art Education Convention. Our paintings were joined by artwork from students across the United States.
Currently our two other paintings are on display at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Nebraska.
Former astronaut Clayton Anderson from Ashland, NE signed our Dream Rocket Project poster last week and will be mailing each participating school a autographed certificate of participation.

A little background information on the organization that dreamed up this wonderful opportunity for students:
 In 2008, a group of educators and artists formed the International Fiber Collaborative (IFC), a non-profit organization with a mission to create deeper learning experiences through art, collaboration and cross-curricular themed programming for individuals and their communities.
IFC’s current initiative, The Dream Rocket Project (DRP), which was launched in 2009, is collecting 8,000 pieces of artwork that in 2015 will be stitched together to wrap a 363-foot Saturn V Moon Rocket replica at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama for a temporary exhibition.
“Through these exhibits, visitors will see the many ways that students have expressed their understanding of what research, creativity and imagination means to them,” said DRP organizer Jennifer Marsh. “By exposing students to the importance of collaboration through multi-disciplinary approaches, we hope to inspire them to feel the freedom to dream big.”

 The Saturn V rocket is 58 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. 
So far, art submissions have been received by individuals residing in 17 countries, 46 states and 363 communities. Prior to the wrapping of the Saturn V, all submissions are being displayed in libraries, schools, museums and community centers. By 2015, DRP estimates 36,000 people will have contributed to a monumental 32,000 square foot wrap.

Our Seventh grade art students submitted four 2’ square painted pieces for display this month. The 2 pieces will travel to San Diego, CA to be on display at the National Art Education Convention, 2 pieces will travel to Nebraska to be on display at an Air & Space Museum, and all 4 will be part of the Dream Rocket Art Installation in Alabama next year, coming together with students around the globe to create a quilt that will cover the Saturn V Rocket! (The rocket is taller than the statue of liberty!)
