Meet Our Horse, C-Biscuit!

Introducing Our Wonderful Terracotta Horse, C-Biscuit!

Under the Brazos County Academy, A.R.T. For Life hopes to aim for a fun and engaging way to build a community and create collaborative problem solving! During this project to design and paint a large terracotta horse, the objective was to invoke history and technique into this project, as well as creating new life skills and experiences in a way that enhances one’s outlook on life. Moreover, this project was a great way to express one’s creative outlet!

As part of the Art Reaching Teens for Life program, the Artist has developed the Terracotta Horse Painting Project in collaboration with the ACBV.

 

A program of the Arts Council of Brazos Valley (ACBV), A.R.T. for Life provides youth in juvenile detention and the juvenile justice system a foundation for making better life choices by offering a process for creative growth and an outlet for creative energy.

This program is for teenagers facing many challenges: peer pressure, drugs, anger, abuse, violence, gangs and questions about who they really are. While no program can offer all the answers, the arts can help youth uncover the power, strength and wisdom that exists within themselves, while giving them creative and positive outlets for expression – tools that will last a lifetime.
