The Pen and Paper Project- What It's About
I, along with the artists involved, realise the difference that being able to draw has made on our life. I know, that if I could never simply pick up a pen or pencil, and just loose myself in my drawings, I would be a completely different person. The fact that kids all around the world, are deprived of the opportunity to be creative, to me anyway, is a crime. We aim change that, through this non-profit project, we will be able give hundreds, if not thousands, of children the chance to have the experience to do what we love. Through us, they will be able to make art.
Each artist will be sent a piece of handmade paper (made by me) similar to this one: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3285/2605320312_3e6b083e57_b.jpg Each piece of paper is made of recycled book pages, and has a rough side, and a smooth side. The pieces are approximately 10x17 cm.
The artists will create something beautiful on the paper and send it back to me. I will then photocopy the paper, and the pictures of the pieces, along with a small piece of writing by/about the artist, will be made into a zine. I will then sell the zines. I will also exhibit the pieces in a gallery, and they will be sold, via silent auction.
All of the money raised will go to buy pens, pencils, paint, paper and a variety of other art supplies for less fortunate children around the globe.
There are no specifics to what each artist does on the paper, it could be a small doodle, an intricate sketch, a painting, a stencil, anything they want!
The artists have only just been contacted, but so far 45rpm and Armsrock have agree'd to get involved, and I am waiting on reply's for a variety of others...
I will try and keep you updated with all the progress, but I wont be showing the pieces on here, as I want you to buy the zine! I will however be showing sneak previews...
I am new to doing this sort of thing, so I am open to all your help and suggestions, I would also love for you guys to suggest artists who you think would be interested. I want to get as many different artists involved, so yeh, let me know...
