UNITY Art Installation

My name is Jean Barnett.  I am one of the art educators at Taylor High School, in Taylor, Texas.  I have been lucky to be part of the THS family for 9 years.  I love my job and I love my students.  Go Ducks!!

I am raising money to help fund an art installation I would like my students to create.  I saw a video on facebook about the Unity Project, and I thought that this was something my students needed to do--they needed to create this.  http://www.unityproject.net/

In this time of uncertainty and a political atmosphere where some are trying to tear us apart, I want my students to see that they are not so different.  That their lives are like others, no matter what their skin color, their religion, their sexual orientation.  I want them to see how our lives are woven together.  Creating this artwork will help them to see not only their lives, but the lives of their peers.

I have started this campaign because I am an artist, I am a teacher, and I think art can bridge so many gaps in our society.  Your donation, no matter how big or small, will mean so much to me.  I want to give everything I have to my students, but I can't always do it on my own...I am a teacher afterall.  They say it takes a village...

The money raised will go directly to buying supplies to make this installation artwork a reality--poles, stakes, paint, and yarn.  

Please consider opening your heart and your wallet so that my students can create a meaningful and hopefully unifying art installation.
