A student described an artwork portraying police officers, firefighters and emergency medical services during a brief presentation recorded in the Shelby County transcript.

The presentation combined personal reflection and a description of technique, emphasizing admiration for first responders and the materials used to depict them. “I thought the police were super cool,” Student 1, a student, said, adding that a field trip about two months earlier informed the work.

The speaker said the piece included images of a police officer “walking down the street looking for a crime scene” and described using embroidery techniques on cardboard. The student explained materials and methods: “I used a lot, twistables. I used, some twistables for the grama, for, like, the dirt, and I used twistables for on the ladder fire pumps,” Student 1 said. The presentation also referenced markers and needle-and-yarn embroidery.

The student framed the project as part of ongoing learning about first responders, saying it gave an opportunity to “know about them” and mentioning research done for other art elements such as fire hydrants and trucks. The speaker also described an exercise about birds and noted physical benefits of that exercise, saying it “exercises the heart, lungs, legs, and arms.”

The transcript contains no record of formal actions or votes connected to the presentation; it appears as a participant presentation recorded in the meeting record.
