Phoenix Student Engages In ‘Art Exchange' With Student In Ireland

PHOENIX, AZ — Kayleanne Kizior, a Bradley University student from Phoenix, recently participated in an “art exchange” project with students attending an Irish school. The “Out My Window” project had Bradley interactive media students such as Kizior randomly matched with a “pen pal” student attending Ireland’s LIT Limerick School of Art and Design in Clonmel.

Each person in each of the 35 pairs of participating students had to look out their window and describe what they observed and how they were feeling. Then their cross-Atlantic partner had two weeks to draw a picture solely from the provided description.

At the voluntary project’s end, the students met over Skype to share their artistic depictions of what was described by their partner.

The art will soon be on display at LIT Limerick School of Art and Design and at Bradley University.
