Art(s) on the Air - Talking Storm Drains and other murals with Jen Palmer and Dana Richardson

Join Tamara for interviews related to the City of Savannah's current "Storm Drain Art" public mural project, which is taking place all over the city. From their site https://waterconnectsusall.com/ :  "What connects us to these waters, plants, and wildlife we don’t see? It is the storm drain in front of our homes, schools, offices, parks, grocery stores, restaurants, and gas stations....This project is part of a larger campaign to lift the lowly storm drain to a level of prominence, so we are reminded of our connection to our rivers and ocean. We are reminded that our actions impact the wildlife and local economies that depend on our waters staying healthy." The first half of the show is a group interview at Heard Elementary School, with storm drain muralist Jen Palmer; STEAM Lab teacher & 5th grade teacher Angela Willis; 4th grade teachers Deanna Fanning and Ms Green; Assistant Principal Mary Ann Rogers Lamberth; AND three students from the school. In the second half, Tamara interviews another storm drain muralist Dana Richardson, on site at White Bluff Elementary School. The discussion includes her other mural work (including at the Jepson Museum and Starland Dairy), and her work as an art teacher at Savannah Christian, including her theory about the process of teaching paralleling the design process.    https://www.instagram.com/jenpalmerart/ https://www.jenpalmer.art/ https://www.instagram.com/danawrich/ https://www.danarichardsonart.com/ Get the answers to such burning questions as: What do the science teachers recommend that homeowners do, to keep yard detritus from blowing into the storm drains?
