You Are Human Print

Hands down one of my favorite things we've ever created! This print is a message of encouragement and was developed in collaboration with Mrs. Lacksen’s 5th grade class at Lakeview Academy in Milledgeville, GA.

We worked over several weeks with her class— talking about the importance of giving back to your community, how everyone can make a difference (no matter your age or your financial situation), and how often it's the everyday heroes that leave the most lasting impact on our lives! The students were charged with creating an uplifting sentiment to share with the world. They brainstormed together and collectively chose this expression, "You are human. You will make mistakes, & that's OK!"

After that, the class selected a non-profit to donate ALL of the proceeds from this print.  Our goal is to raise $1,000 for the Life Enrichment Center in Milledgeville, Georgia, a wonderful organization that maximizes the quality of life for adults with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities through person-centered, community-based programs and services.

• Print Dimensions: 12.5" x 19"
• Each print is letterpress printed with 6 colors
• Each print comes with an additional letterpress print containing the signatures of all 22 students and Mrs. Lacksen
• Prints will be shipped in a protective cardboard tube. 

Note: When we were brainstorming this project with Mrs. Lacksen, there were two objectives that we had: 1) We really wanted the students to feel like they could take ownership of the project. They led the discussions, selected the expression & non-profit, and voted on the final design. We just facilitated the opportunity and printed it! 2) It was really important that each child got to take home one of these prints for themselves. We're releasing this print as an edition of 65 and each student gets a print for free! Thanks for supporting our children and our community!
