How do the arts function at your home farm or school, or at farms or programs you’ve visited?
Partner up: one partner can address the question above while the other listens and then responds with questions.
Then switch and repeat. Feel free to talk, to take notes and/or to draw diagrams or illustrations in the course of your conversation.

SLIDESHOW (You may want to take notes in your Arts & Farms table as we discuss)

Note: This is a sample of what I see to be the intersection of the arts and farming, one of many groupings that might have served to spur discussion. I have hands-on experience with most of the initiatives covered in the slideshow. In terms of bias, I have gone to school and worked at schools in the areas covered—in England, New York, and the San Francisco Bay Area. (At the same time, these are very active areas by anyone’s standards or points of reference.) When I have not stepped foot on the farm, site or association location presented in the slide show, I have made an effort to talk to people who have, to read up on the literature and to obtain images for presentation. When I have extensive experience either as a visitor, friend or educator at a particular farm, I try not to go too overboard with pictures from my personal photo albums… but I do! This is what I have to share. I hope you enjoy and I can’t wait to hear more about your experiences in the arts on farms.

For a political piece that works, look at Andrea Bowers's powerfully designed (and
lengthily titled) "Memorial to One of the Largest Urban Farms in America (South Central Community Garden, at 41st and
Alameda Streets, Los Angeles, 1994-2006)," from 2008. It is a large drawing in
graphite and colored pencil on paper showing a vast area of South-Central L.A. in an intricately rendered monochrome
topographical map with the blocks of the community garden vigorously shaded in green. In the lower right-hand corner is a reproduction of a Los Angeles Times story
about the garden's destruction. –
Changing Times, Changing Notions: 'Progress' at the Whitney by Francis
Morrone for the New York Sun, August 14, 2008
…positioned eight feet vertically on the wall, just inches above the floor. Opposite in approach to a public attraction, it requires the viewer to crouch down over the bottom right corner of the piece to read the reproduction of a 2006 Los Angeles Times article. The text chronicles the arrest of activists protesting the destruction—by a developer intending to sell it to a corporation—of a community garden, and one protester’s desperate attempt to stall the bulldozer by clogging the machine’s exhaust pipe with a vegetable. The work epitomizes the contemporary contradictions in the modern concept of progress that are so difficult to reconcile: development in the face of environmental destruction, and corporate wealth privileged over the self-sufficiency of the poor. Bowers’ piece beautifully lays this out in a stark abstraction in which the Google-earth view of the small farm plotted within the immensity of the city creates a graphic equal sign, one that does not add up to stability or equality.

Many activities may be drawn out of Ovid and farms, or gardens.—
When I read a translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses with Oakland middle schoolers in the spring of 2003, we talked about repetition and variation, voice and tone. We walked through note-taking and life drawing exercises in response to the garden's growth and decay, eventually writing and illustrating myths of our own. The opening of seventh grade student Rebecca Morton's story illustrates the complementary impact of literature and nature on a young imagination:

Here sits a child in a room full of stars. Not a room as you or I would think of one, but there is no other name for it. Anyway, the boy thinks of it as a room and that is what counts. The stars are real stars.
Now, slowly, the stars disperse and something else fills the room. There are no words to fully describe this thing. It is everything and nothing at once, all the matter in the universe and some that isn't anymore.
The boy is barely four, small. That is, he would be if he was a human. In our years, he is as many centuries old and too big to comprehend or really even see.

”…as designers we have tools and knowledge to create functional, sustainable solutions for a better social, economic, political environment. The organizational skills that come along with being a designer in terms of planning are such a resource. It is time NOW to put them to good use and offer our skills to groups that are working HARD towards a better world.”

“Almost two years after its founding in a basement in Berkeley, California, The
Greenhorns has matured from an idea for a recruitment film into a widespread
national community. We are now happily rooted on my first commercial farm, Smithereen, on rented land in the Hudson Valley of New York. In the autumn
of 2007, we officially began seeking out mentors and characters for a film, traveling the country with a confident intuitive sense of an emerging
movement of young farmers and a series of borrowed cameras and generous cinematographers.”

Does anyone have any questions that they think could lead to deeper discussion about the ways in which the arts enhance farm-based education?

A note on traditional preparation of grounds for egg tempera painting
Egg tempera must be painted on a rigid support (as opposed to a flexible support like unmounted paper or stretched canvas), otherwise it will flake and crack off. Egg tempera is often painted on a board of masonite or wood, which is first sealed using natural glue and then prepared with gesso. Traditional gesso is a chalk ground itself made with natural glue. A piece of canvas or linen is often glued to the board before the gesso is applied. So, it goes: wood panel, rabbit skin glue, rabbit skin glue, canvas, rabbit skin glue, rabbit skin glue and then 5-10 layers of gesso. There are great recipes for this kind of preparation all over the internet. It can be time consuming and takes some practice. You may be creative and you may cut corners or discover alternatives.
![Page 120: The Arts on the Farms Workshop](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554a7e8eb4c90573288b5175/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
An alternative (simpler, quicker, less materials intensive) ground for painting with egg tempera:
*
This is how I prepared the wood we are painting on today.
1. Collect some wooden wine boxes from your local wine store (the wood is untreated and relatively straight).
2. Buy some rabbit skin glue from your local art store. It comes dry, you may have to soak it overnight, depending on the brand. You can also order it here: www.sinopia.com. 3. Buy a 2 inch brush from your local hardware store. Break the boxes down, you may need a hammer for this. Don’t forget to remove all staples or nails (or else hammer them in).
