SUMMARY:11-1:00    Layl McDill Device Persuasive Technologies  Workshop- Library $5
DESCRIPTION:Project Description and Workshop   – Layl McDill  Topic:   Persuasive Technologies\n\n“Do you feel a loss of control and/or feelings of timelessness when using the Internet or Smartphone?”\,  “Do you find yourself seeking more stimulating/interesting (e.g.\, exciting) material or content on the Internet or Smartphone? “\, “Are you using the Internet/Smartphone as a way of escaping from problems or relieving a bad mood\, (e.g.\, boredom\, frustration\, anxiety or depression)?”  These are three of the questions on the “Virtual Addiction Test” created by David Greenfield\, who runs the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction.   So many of us will answer yes to these questions and so many of us have some range of device addiction to deal with in our lives.  If we aren’t dealing with it ourselves it is likely that our children and teenagers are.  Everywhere you look people’s heads are bent down gazing into the ever scrolling screen of our devices.My project’s goal is awareness of device addiction.  We might know we spend a lot of time on our devices but we do we know we actually have the signs of a real addiction? How is the addiction affecting our lives or our children’s lives?  I will speak to a therapist about their experience with teens that must be separated from their phones in order to start intensive treatment for other addictions and depression.  How does this relationship with their phones effect these teen’s mental health?  What changes happen when they are free from all the phone’s stimulus.  What happens when the phones are given back?  What have they seen over the years as the use of smart phones has become so widespread?The art piece I plan to create with be interactive and ask the viewer to add to a “Device Monster” by thinking about their relationship to their devices and consider how their relationship with their device might effect their lives.  I work in polymer clay and my work is very playful and colorful.  My goal is to create a piece that draws you in with humor but gives the viewer an image that will stick in their mind when they ponder how social media\, aps and online games effect their lives.Authentic Voice:\nAngie Kalthoff is a K12 technology integrationist\, has a focus on elementary\, for a large public school district in central Minnesota. She previously taught English as a Second Language (ESL) for students who were new to the country. She has an interest in bringing Computational Thinking(CT) to the elementary classroom. Outside of her full time job she is a consultant and trainer for education technology companies. Her focus is meaningful technology integration where she creates opportunities for technology creation rather than consumption with devices. \n  \nWorkshop: \nWe will start with a conversation about our own personal relationship to our devices- What would you like to change. What is positive about such things as social media and other smart phone aps?  What are the negatives?  How do you feel different after too much “device time”?  Then we will get away from the virtual world and experience hands on COLOR in the form of polymer clay.  Learn a few step by step techniques that you can use to create a small sculpture of your own “Device Monster”.  This creature will then be taken home and baked and set in a place where it can remind you what you don’t want to become when you get sucked into the virtual world.  Two hour workshop \nBiography \nLayl McDill \nI use wonderment as a mechanism to show the things we live with everyday in a new perspective\, like the green hills you drive by everyday or the laundry hanging on the line. When you are surrounded by my polymer clay sculptures it is as if you are seeing the world through a patterned lens where the mundane is much more precious and mysterious. \nMy technique and materials are also very mysterious. I use primarily polymer clay with the ancient technique of millefiore. Tiny images that cover every surface of my sculptures inevitably make the viewer wonder “How did she do that?” And even though I have been doing it for more than twenty years\, it still seems amazing that I can create a tiny picture inside a chunk of clay. \nI have spent my artistic career rendering versions of the world we live in into windows of wonderment. With my most recent work I hope to tingle the viewer’s imagination towards opening their mind to seeing something in a new perspective. In one of my recent pieces\, “The Root of the Problem\,” a tree grows above a bulb of roots filled with antique mirrors. “Air Celebration” is a joyful piece that makes you think about our most precious invisible necessity.  Both of these pieces speak of awareness or even possibly give a subtle nudge towards activism to change our impact on the earth. \nViewers are drawn to the magic and wonder of my work. They will be not only fascinated by the technique but presented with some thoughts about ways to look at the world we live in and given their daily dose of wonderment. \n \n\n\n\n\n\nBecome a Member

SUMMARY:1:00-3:00    Barbara Bridges – Recovery  Workshop  $5
DESCRIPTION:Project Description    Barbara Bridges Topic:  RECOVERY   Today\, I’m Alright.   \n \nProject Description    Barbara Bridges Topic:  RECOVERY   Today\, I’m Alright.   \nRECOVERY. If you are reading this word\, “RECOVERY” it would be unusual if you do NOT know anyone who WAS\, IS\, or you wish WERE\, in RECOVERY. What does that word actually mean when connected to trauma? I chose to use the word RECOVERY because my series is a message of hope.   Your trauma is not terminal. You are not broken. You can create your own life rafts of hope and resilience with practical strategies \nArt to Change the World’s first event\, See. Say. DO. Intends to change the world by using art to deliver a message of hope and serving as a catalyst for positive concrete change. Please open all the cupboards and drawers\, consider what you see and take one of the contents\, if invited.  Leave your reflections and comments in the art box and attend our workshop! \nIn my project on Recovery\, my team members are Marya Hornbacher\, an author who is in recovery from addiction  http://www.maryahornbacher.com/ and David Swarthout\, a psychotherapist specializing in addiction. Marya has already influenced my thinking. http://www.drdavidswarthout.com/ She indicated when people ask her if she is “in recovery” she responds with strength\, contentment\, and peace of mind “Today\, I’m alright.”  I decided to name the work after this insight. Personally\, I have experienced addiction (food) and my friends and family have also been challenged.  It would be difficult to find anyone who does NOT have this issue in their lives- we just don’t talk about it – so we suffer alone. I now believe my loved ones are sick of people treating them like it is all over-that they are recovered.  I now know that Today- they are alright.  This new insight has informed the direction of my large 5‘X 5’ W X 7 ‘ work. The sculpture has  influenced the workshop design which will  engage our audience moving forward. https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/barbara-bridges/ \nWorkshop: \nOur workshop invites EVERYONE who has a connection with TRAUMA to join us for two hours of resource sharing\, art-making\, conversation and most importantly – identifying strategies for change.  This workshop welcomes all people who have had their life touched by trauma: People\, and friends and loved ones\, recovering from disordered eating\, gambling\, chemicals\, alcohol\, or sex addictions and people recovering from death\, divorce\, cults or abuse. \nParticipants will be invited to select a recovery talisman from the drawers and cupboards of TODAY to share at the workshop and then take home to help in their ongoing recovery. Includes Higher Power sculptures\, wranklets and TODAY\, I’m Alright t-shirts. \nRegister with Barbara or at the check-in table or online:\nhttps://www.arttochangetheworld.org/calendar-event/100-300-barbara-bridges-recovery-workshop-kitchen-5/     Join our October 14 Workshop: Register \nDavid Swarthout\, http://www.drdavidswarthout.com/ a psychotherapist specializing in addiction.\n \n \n  \nHow the art gets made. Journal  \n \n\nRead about Artist as Intervenor. \nI can see I need a few larger antique boxes so I am off to Savers (40% off for the over 55 crowd on Tuesday on objects that are already being sold for 10 cents on the dollar). \nAugust 8\, 2018 \nNeed YOUR feedback! The last month has brought many visitors to the studio with feedback on my Recovery sculpture\, “Today\, I’m Alright” and many stolen moments early in the morning and late at night for studio time. My Tuesday visits to Savers to enjoy the 40% off the already 80% off geezer discounts on found objects have been particularly fruitful. As many of you know… I believe that I am simply an intervener in the journeys of the objects I adopt for my sculptures. I create a new memory for them to take forward with their new message. Each participant will go to the drawers and cupboards to choose a talisman to discuss at the workshop and then take home with them to help in their recovery.
