ABOUT:
THE DREAM BIG PROJECT
“Imagination is more important than knowledge” – Einstein
The Dream Big mural and mixed media works of art were created thru the support of the Artist in Residence program at LILA (The International School of Los Angeles) with Greg & Jude Beylerian. 160 students from third, fourth and fifth grade collaborated to “Dream Big” and explore the possibilities of their imagination as a tool of value that is applicable to any field or career path. Einstein said that the imagination is more important than knowledge, thus this project emphasizes the insight he was referring to. The Dream Big project emphasized the importance of practicing art exercises to nurture imagination as a means to becoming innovative contributing members of society.
The students were first guided thru a creative visualization process, then organized into brainstorming groups. Each student learned to collaborate and co create a vision, bringing their consious dreams into reality using the mediums of sketching, watercolors, pigment inks, styling, costumes, hair & make-up and a photography studio shoot, all accomplished in 3 sessions. Each child visualized where they would be placed in their constructed artwork, what they would be doing and wearing. 160 kids were photographed individually and according to their artworks vision and then photoshopped into their respective places within the art.
Every child fulfilled each step of the process, thus completing the full scope of the project. The satisfaction of bringing an idea to reality was a satisfying experience shared by everyone involved. From art, medicine, science, entrepreneur, etc.. It is the dreamer who bring their visions to life that give us the magic of the world we live in today, this is the message of The Dream Big Project..

- Painting (with an open heart) is a process that allows all of one’s past experiences to come thru the brush, this is not limited to birth and death. The history of one’s DNA is imprinted from the experience of our ancestors as science has now confirmed. Therefore art becomes (literally) a portal in time, transcending the limitations of a lifetime, to reveal the deeper imprints of the human consciousness journey. Contemporary art thus holds within it the past, present and future as the surrendered brush stroke reveals the light at the edge of the canvas.
