Local teens partner with national artists DAYTON — Katherine Mann is creating a wall-sized “abstract landscape” painting in collaboration with seven students from Dayton-area high schools. “I never would have been able to create something like what’s up there right now from my own head,” said Mann, a painter from Baltimore, Md. “It had to come from all these other different voices having an equal partnership in creating this thing.” Mann is producing the latest piece in her “Byzantine” series as part of the Blue Sky Project, an eight-week program that pairs five artists from across the U.S. with a total of 33 Dayton-area youth participants. “The youth are really actively engaged, conceptually and creatively, in the art-making process,” said Blue Sky Project founder Peter Benkendorf. |
