“The Art of Influence” is a tapestry of ads created by students from South Pointe Elementary, Nautilus Middle and Miami Beach Senior High school students. For this project, their creativity and talents were put to the test. Their advertising copy and accompanying artwork had to include the negative aspects of a real or made up product and still entice the public to want the product.
“The Influence of Art – We Are Artists, Too!” is a tapestry of narratives and artwork created by developmentally disabled adults (ages 18-68) who discovered the artist within and a new way to share with the public what they would like the public to know about them and the meaningful things in their lives.
