Collaborative Body Tracing

Today the girls created a collaborative art piece!  4 of the participants traced each other, layering the shapes of their own bodies to represent a celebration of body diversity and both their uniqueness and roles within the large group.  After the figures were traced in pencil the girls traced their own body in the color of their choice and everyone came together to decorate and embellish the area surrounding the bodies.  It was a real collaborative effort and it resulted in a beautiful piece of art!

The 'Tree of Truth'

The goddess wisdom tree was the name of the art directive offered to Project Girl participants but the girls have decided that it will now be known as the Tree of Truth.  The Tree of Truth is composed of several branches, decorated to represent each participant and mentor in the group, which will be displayed together as a collaborative art piece at our show in April. 

The tree will be decorated with ornaments crafted by the members of Project Girl and guests at the show will be asked to contribute to the tree, sharing and contributing their own truth around issues of body image.  The branches are a beautiful representation of the group, each one crafted to resemble the spirit and style of the artist who created it.  Here is a sneak peak!
