APSU Student, Melanie Perry Conducts Art Outreach Work in Cheatham County

Melanie Perry is a senior art education student conducting her teaching observation requirement in Cheatham County. While there, she noticed that her students have never had the opportunity to work with clay, the school art budget simply could not afford to purchase anything other than paper. With the help of Professor Ken Shipley, Melanie took clay from the APSU Ceramics studio to allow her students the opportunity to work with clay and to create bowls for the Empty Bowl Project. Due to Melanie’s hard work, the project was a huge success and a permanent Empty Bowls program is in the works for Cheatham County.
