The Youth Art Team kicked off Night #3 by talking again about the word "philanthropy." Students learned this word on the first night and throughout Youth Art Team in Fall 2010, and although it has never shown up on the blog (yet), they continue to consider the word this spring. And they are really learning it. When the team was asked for a volunteer to write the word on the board, a couple students near each end of the K-12 spectrum took a shot:
Then students went on to illustrate the word "philanthropy" or to fill in the blank: The best thing you ever did to show someone you loved them was _________________. A sample from the sketchbooks:
Two students who have been getting to know each other better on the Youth Art Team had a particularly good time with the assignment:
Then students put their sketchbooks away and split into rotating groups. Youth Art Team members rode around the park and the building where they will paint their mural. They talked about what parts of the building were most visible to the community and about how they would like their mural to transform the space in the park:
They also saw finished notecards back from the printer. Students discussed cost – the bill for all 50 full-color notecard sets (600 cards and envelopes) totaled just over $200 – and began thinking about how much money they need to earn to pay the printer and buy paint and supplies. Each student chose an envelope color for each notecard, and started making a list of teachers and other people they might contact to help support their mural project:
And then, the mural design brainstorming began! That to come...
