FYI,

 

CSLP is seeking applicants for an Artwork Committee consisting of both State Representatives and frontline librarians in public libraries who can evaluate and offer thoughtful criticism of sketches.

 

Committee makeup: 

8-12 members, both State Reps and frontline librarians from public libraries

 

Charge:

CSLP is looking for people to volunteer for the 2023 Artwork Committee. Committee members will be expected to look at sketches for program year 2023 (Friendship and kindness, All Together Now, artist Frank Morrison) and evaluate them from a culturally authentic viewpoint and provide constructive criticism to ensure posters and spot art are inclusive and reflective of the diverse communities we serve.

Please complete the Artwork Committee application found at: https://forms.gle/mYmFm9YLkqEYFbwY7. Part of the application includes two images from children’s literature. What feedback would you give the artist if these images were submitted? What sticks out or resonates with you? What might a child take away from these images? There is no right or wrong answer, we are just hoping to see your thought process in evaluating the artwork and providing thoughtful and constructive feedback.
