Fundraiser Ideas


Summer School Day 1

Today was my first day at the hospital working with elementary, middle, and high school kids. I have to say I think the day couldn't have gone better. The kids were amazing. They followed instructions, were very productive, and began work on some very impressive designs. We started the day with a light catcher project using a Scratch-Light kit. The activity took about 30-45 min start to finish. When the students finished, they began their drawings for a name design project using large 20 x 30 sheets of drawing paper. Most students finished the drawing stage and began coloring in the shapes and spaces using oil pastels, crayons or markers. This project will take anywhere from 2-3 days.

I need lesson ideas in a bad way. I'm not used to teaching art that focuses only on the studio aspect. I felt off at various points during the day because I was leaving out art history and formal aspects of art. All in all though, I think I will enjoy summer school and gain some valuable experience for when I begin teaching in the fall.
