Summary: Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Drop by Drop Podcast; This episode features an artist who travels the world creating public art displays to inspire wonder and spread positivism. His name is Georges Le Chevallier. He tells us what he thinks art really is - and its kinda hard to describe. You try answering that question: What is art? Chevallier has extended that question into a worldwide public art display that features question marks made of all different types of materials. He's done this in Paris, Guatemala, Tanzania, and many other places. He believes that art should inspire the viewer to ask questions, and an artist should always be questioning as well. Since these art displays are public, it gives him the opportunity to separate himself from the work and capture the genuine responses of viewers without them knowing he created the work. One of the many great things about creating public art. On several of he public art projects, he was able to get kids involved in creating the work. He received a grant from Travelocity called Travel for Good, which allowed him to go to Tanzania (Kilimanjaro Region and Bagamoyo), Africa to do art with kids there. One of the projects that he and the kids in Bagamoyo created a huge baobab tree. It was made from drawings of the silhouettes of the kids. We discussed a few other projects, all of which were really cool. (Including the butterfly garden that you see pictures of). You need to also check out his blog. it's all about art, travel, and food (the three best things ever!). I think you'll really love this podcast; It's a collection of great ideas and stories from a really amazing dude. Give it a listen! Download it and listen in your car.
