The Outdoor Sculpture Project is a collaboration of VSAI teaching artist Barbara Zech, ISD art teacher Scotty Zwicker, and ISD art students – They are working to create a public sculpture on the grounds of the Indiana School for the Deaf. Barb has been a teaching artist in Scotty’s classroom for several years. While working together in the Spring of 2006, Scotty and Barb came up with the idea for an outdoor sculpture project that would involve ISD students and exhibit visual communication through ASL and art. After considering various design ideas, they decided on columns and archway, as a form for conveying the message, and allowing many students to contribute a piece that makes up one large sculpture. From that point the project began. The sculpture will be made up of two columns that are covered with American Sign Language and decorative clay tiles created by the students, and topped with an architectural peak or arch. The sculpture design reflects the architecture of the historic buildings of ISD and the rich history of Deaf Culture. The sculpture will be located on the west edge of the ISD campus along the Monon Trail, north of 42nd St., across from the State Fairgrounds. The sculpture area will connect to the Monon Trail via a paved or brick pathway; with benches, Monon map, and plaque describing the arch and the history about the Indiana Deaf School. The target date for installing the sculpture is April-May 2008. An “unveiling ceremony” date is to be announced.
