Last Thursday, I volunteered with Julie from Arts & Scraps at Stevenson Elementary School for an after school Harvest celebration event. It was quite enjoyable. The children met after school around 6pm dressed in their Halloween costumes. I must express the children were adorable. We were stationed in the Art room, were we set up our art materials. The project entailed creating turkey headbands out of various materials such as yarn, stickers, old tickets, scraps of loose paper, and glitter sand. A very creative concept turned into an enjoyable project for parents to participate. One of the most enjoyable moments was reminiscing on my childhood in an art classroom. The classroom contained so many pictures of various artworks from world famous artists. The classroom was very inviting for students. I could tell that the teacher wanted to enhance learning by associating colors with nature photos, and famous artworks. I loved my time there, I loved being able to help children enhance their creativity in their art projects. Children's faces lit up when they were done, even some parents wanted to make turkey headbands! I believe overall the art is teaching the children to make and create independently. This builds a sense of accomplishment.
I'm looking forward to the next events. Arts & Scraps has expressed a lot of appreciation to me in participating and helping their events be a success.
