PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Teens at the Boys and
Girls Club of Missoula produced two compact disks of children's
tales and fables. The CD series attempts to
reflect the inter-generational and multicultural.htmlects of
the community.
Invitations for collaborative participation were extended to local
poets, writers, storytellers, and musicians of all ages and cultures.
The project
integrated six of the existing teen arts-based programs at the club
(music and recording studio, fine arts, graphic arts and publishing,
writing,
and digital film.)
PROJECT OUTCOMES:
For the Talking Tales project, teens learned new hardware and software applications, increased their knowledge
of media arts,
and produce a professional product for a portfolio. The
project fostered
relationships between local musicians and artists and the teens, and provided an alternative way for teens to spend their
time rather
than using it for substance abuse.
