DNAC Update: November 13, 2010

The Detroit Neighborhood Arts Corps (DNAC) met at the Redford Branch of the Detroit Public Library. The fourteen students collectively began their research for the library mural project. Their assigned task was to study images within the tomes of the library; to inspire characters they could develop and design for submission to be used on the mural. The students had to choose at least five volumes from the library as reference material. After a quick lunch of pizza and juice packs, the DNAC students were presented to by Dr. Conja Wright, Children’s Librarian at the Redford branch. Dr. Wright’s presentation fired the imagination of the students to consider enchanting images from the solar system, to the ocean shores of planet earth. Dr. Wright spoke of imaginary dreamlands, and of the need for the final piece to inspire storytelling to children. Dr. Wright expressed that the completed mural should be an explosion of color and inspiration to all those that gaze upon it. Dr. Wright promised to avail herself regularly as the DNAC students progressed through the project. This blog will provide for Dr. Wright continued graphic examples of where the DNAC students are in the development of what is promised to be an epic mural!

Stay tuned!!!
