Pencil Project Focusing on the meaning and potential of
a simple object, a pencil was chosen as an instrument to inspire thought and action during National Turnoff TV Week within the local public elementary school. The intent of the project was to encourage participation in National Turnoff TV Week through the engagement of writing, drawing, and games requiring a pencil, to highlight the negative affects of over television exposure through the display of informational graphics, and to engage the community: parents, students and teachers in the process of planning, distributing, and discussion the meaning
of the event in contemporary American culture.
