    The Commissioner- pledge level A new twist?

    I just took an interesting call from a backer asking how The Commissioner pledge level could be used in an educational setting.  Great Idea-why didn't I think of that?! So, I think it could be really interesting for students to be able to write the design brief outlining their goals for the poster.  They could also choose a style, or submit styles the artist could generate some ideas around and work with students to build a project scope.  The entire class gets to learn firsthand how to communicate with artists, learn about how a work of art is imagined and then produced.  Pretty neat.  Any teachers out there with a benefactor? More soon!
