Cool GLobes





















Title: "Itz A Rhythmistic World!" It shows people of all types holding hands united against the forces behind global warming along with images depicitng how idling cars and buses needlessly contribute to the problem. I was fortunate enough to secure a Cool Globes Public Art Commission. These were globes, dealing with themes to raise awareness about global warming to be auctioned off to gian support for the high school Conservation Clubs of Chicago.
Over 100 of them were displayed along the city's lakefront Museum Park Campus during the Spring and Summer of 2007. I hired 6 students where I teach and completed this globe in four days flat. They were members of the Conservation Club of Kenwood Academy via the Chicago Department of Environment. We worked on it at the Hyde Park Art Center of Chicago.
