In 2011, the Public Arts Board (PAB) began searching for ideas to enhance our
Norman Parks. The PAB liked the concept of the Cow Parade in Chicago and
other similar projects, but wanted to create something unique, produced locally
and that incorporated its mission, to create exciting, appealing, and harmonious
public spaces through the integration of art into public places.
The PAB accepted a proposal to use the Firehouse Art Center’s original duck,
“Samo Ducky,” designed and donated by Douglas Shaw Elder. The PAB hired
3-D Extreme in Norman to cast fiberglass reproductions of the original duck and
published a “Request for Proposals” to Norman artists to submit their visions of
the duck sculptures to paint and enhance.

THE SAMO DUCKY PROJECT
The goal of the duck project is to create a sculpture that is inviting, stimulating and
that fosters social interaction while enhancing our community parks. In addition
to Samo Ducky, residing next to the Firehouse in Lions Park, there are 18 ducky
installations currently located in Norman:
ART EDUCATION INITIATIVE
The Art Education in Schools Initiative is the Firehouse Art Center’s effort to bring
art education opportunities and experiences to students K-5 in the Norman Public
School system. Along with Firehouse support, these programs could not exist
without grants from the Oklahoma Arts Council, Norman Arts Council, and Allied
Arts, and with generous individual donations. If you would like to support the Art
Education in Schools Initiative, please contact Douglas Shaw Elder by email at
info@normanfirehouse.com.
Since September 2015, the Firehouse Art Center
has provided 245 HOURS of art education to 1,856
CHILDREN, including:
•
•
•
A R T E D U C AT I O N I N I T I AT I V E
•
327 Lincoln Elementary students who have received 154 hours of bi-weekly
art instruction
444 Monroe Elementary students who received 26 hours of visual art
education during their school’s Figurative Language Mural project
575 Adams Elementary students who received 32.5 hours of visual art
510 Washington Elementary students who received 32.5 hours of visual art
All in-school art education projects and programs introduce visual art education
that connects the students’ current curriculum with the Oklahoma Standards for
Fine Arts: Visual Arts guidelines. Projects are designed to allow children to see
their subject from a different viewpoint, to expand the ways in which they absorb
information, and to express their understanding of their education in a vibrant way.
Research has shown that children who can express themselves artistically will
dramatically improve their skills of observation and retention along with their overall
performance.
2015 - 2016 SCHOOL YEAR:
Bringing Figurative Language Murals to Additional Schools
Since 2014, The Firehouse Art Center worked with all 1,503 students at Kennedy
Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Wilson Elementary, and Jackson Elementary to
create large murals illustrating examples of figurative language including: simile,
metaphor, alliteration, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, and clichés. This spring, the
Firehouse continued this innovative project at Monroe, Adams, and Washington
Elementary Schools. The Figurative Language Murals project is designed to use
visual arts education as an alternative form of learning to help students attain
higher retention and understanding of a challenging language curriculum, while
completing a unified goal to achieve school beautification.
