There's a lot to report this week in terms of CHIMP, so I'll try to be efficient and not waste too much time :)
First our group has decided on a regular meeting time (Sunday nights at 7) to keep productivity high. It is still unclear if there will be cookies available at the meetings, although I am certainly not opposed.
This week we significantly narrowed the scope of our project, which I believe is healthy. It should make the group more focused on a single, attainable goal. We will be targeting one class of 5th grade students in the Boulder area. Kendyl and Noah will be communicating with local schools to get that sector of the project rolling.
Likewise, we will be taking the one piece of art to the Denver Children's Hospital. Peter will be organizing that equally vital portion of our project.
Meanwhile Liz, Shweta and Hayden will be contacting a variety of venues to fund-raise and plead for donations. I am hesitant to mention the names of any specific stores before we receive any contributions, but several local businesses look promising. Hopefully, contacting the CU Boulder Arts Department will also return large dividends.
Just as the temporary work of our project is divided among the group, so too the overall project is partitioned into discrete roles for team members. Each person volunteered for the job they wanted. That should keep everyone happy.
**Paperwork (The boring, evil part of modern society)
Of course the dark side of any project like this is paperwork. Concerns were brought up about allergies to acrylic paint, which also means an allergy to latex. We're planning on bringing non-latex gloves just in case, but we will probably also need a release of liability form for the students to take to their parents. If we make a video, we will also need forms allowing the children to be in it.
