| Jeanne Bradley Fry is an Approved Artist on the SC Arts Commission Roster, providing Residencies in Schools. The three main Programs she offers are: "Re-imagining the Gourd ~ Sculpting from Nature" "Touch Drawing" "Peace Tile Project" _________________________________________________________ "Re-imagining the Gourd ~ Sculpting from Nature" Beginning with a Gourd, Jeanne leads the students through a process of transforming this bit of nature into a figure of Art that can be whimsical and expressive. Using the Gourd as the base of the sculpture along with specialty clays in the sculpting process, the students are allowed to create a figure that is representative of themselves or correlates with a cultural theme in their current curriculum. Students learn aspects of Gourd Craft, 3-D Principles, and Visual Composition. Jeanne's process in embellishing the sculptures uses as many Found and Recycled objects as possible, making this a form of Outsider Art. This residency requires a minimum of (5) 45-60 minutes sessions. Jeanne will provide the Pre-cleaned Gourds attached to bases at a cost of $4 per student. All other materials are provided by Jeanne and are included within the residency fee. Travel Expenses are included. Residency Fee Range: $1400-$2000 _______________________________________________________________ "Touch Drawing" Jeanne is a Touch Drawing Facilitator. Touch Drawing has limitless applications and is a process that allows for creative expression. It is a simple yet profound process. Materials include a Glass Board, Oil Paints, Print Brayer, and Newsprint Paper. No brushes are used in this technique. Impressions are formed by the students hands underneath the paper. This residency begins with a full demonstration of the technique by Jeanne. Students are given 2 full painting sessions during the residency, in which they will create 20-50 paintings. Each Painting session is Music-Led to help inspire creativity from the students. Paintings focus on the Inner Faces of the Artist. Upon completion of the initial paintings, students are allowed to embellish their paintings with oil pastels and include any journal entries surrounding the paintings they wish. Paintings are finished by either Matting, Binding into Journals, or Mounting into a Storyboard Touch Drawing Residency require (5) 45-60 minutes sessions. All Materials and Travel Expenses are included in the Residency Fee.

This is a 5 day residency with 45-60 minute sessions each day. All materials and travel expenses are included in the Residency Fee. Residency Fee Range: $1400-$2000 |
