Artist Residencies in Action During the months of April and May, 3rd grade students from the Martin Luther King Accelerated Learning Academy designed and constructed a mosaic mural with instruction by local ceramic artist Laura Jean McLaughlin. Collaborating with art teacher Christina Muzzie, and with matching funding from The Mattress Factory, the mosaic was designed and built by the students out of tile and glass to celebrate the North Side Community and the life of Martin Luther King Jr. The creative process began with discussion of the architecture of the North Side and the symbolism of various buildings in the neighborhood, included sketches for the final piece, and culminated in its prominent installation in the school. The Mattress Factory (www.mattress.org) brought the school and the Resident Artist together through an application process designed to place practicing artists in schools to better educate the community about contemporary installation art.Pittsburgh Center for the Arts' Artist Residency Projects, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, place practicing professional artists in schools, nonprofit service agencies, and community organizations throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. They are designed to have lasting benefits for all participants: students are fully immersed in an art form and see how it connects to life and learning, teachers are exposed to alternative ways of experiencing and sharing the creative process and what it brings to their classrooms, and administrators recognize the ways in which the arts fully engage students and impact their learning across the curriculum.
