6th Grade - Crowd-sourcing Art!

In addition to the environmental doc that the Digital Storytelling classes are working on, 6th grade is getting in on the Cape Fear Environmental Film Forum  fun as well!


Today Andre Silva, film professor at UNCW and CFEFF head honcho, 
visited our class to share a crowdsourcing project with us. 

What is crowdsourcing?
Crowdsourcing is the idea of many people coming together to work collaboratively on a  project. 
In this case, we will be creating a short film.

A fine example of this that Andre shared with us is the Johnny Cash Project

He also played a portion of Star Wars Uncut. (this definitely got the kids' attention and made Andre a superstar in their eyes). 


Andre gave us 100 copies of the CFEFF logo, a leaf. The idea is that everyone will decorate, paint, collage, draw on, or use whatever material of their choice to make a piece of art. The only rule is that the leaf image must remain in tact. 


After we finish the leaves, Andre will collect the images, photograph them, and create a teaser trailer for the Film Forum. 

Thanks Andre for having us be a part of this!
So excited for these awesome projects coming up!!!
