The University and Community weren't the only participants as the La Crosse Pump House Arts Center distributed 6,000 6X6 canvases throughout the school district. Of course not all of the small canvases made it back to the Pump House but there were enough student interpretations of Compassion to cover all the walls throughout the historic Pump House.
Very impressive to consider this art was done by K-12 graders.
The mayor of La Crosse even had signed a proclamation for the Compassion project endeavor.
One would need an entire day or two to truly enjoy each canvas.
Here are some for you to interpret.

Each canvas has been catalogued so you can search its artist on a computer nearby... A wonderful undertaking indeed.
May 'compassion' continue to grow for these students as they become world citizens...
This is such an incredible project - very visually overwhelming to see it all up at the Pump House.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be cool to have a video where students explained what they drew and why?
