For my Gold Award, I will be installing a Dragon Sculpture at Hampden Elementary and beautifying the area in which it is installed. Then every year, Hampden's Art teacher, Mrs. Kovach, will expand the sculpture with her 5th grade students by decorating a rock each to leave there as a part of themselves. This blog will document my process in order to help inspire others to add art to their own communities as well to help attack the lack of funding for the Arts.

Installation and Completion
Finally, the sculpture was finished and ready to be installed at the elementary school. We first had to prep the site by removing 4 rhododendrons and moving 2 hostas. Then, using a rented trailer and a furniture doily, we moved the sculpture to site. Once it was there, we laid sand down in the hole where the sculpture was going to be. Then we placed the sculpture and shifted the sand and mulch to make sure it looked pleasant. Finally, the sculpture was placed and the project completed! Almost immediately, the teachers were very excited to show the students when the school year started and parents were taking pictures with their kids in front of it. I am very happy that the sculpture was already having a positive affect. I hope that it will light up many people's days to come.
