Performing Arts Camp

The director of the Project Performing Arts camp invited me to facilitate a workshop that incorporated music, story and performance. I shared examples of art work I have created with families as a Family Programs Coordinator/Teaching Artist. We discussed what art is to us and its different purposes. For the younger group I read them my book, I Love Collage, then we read poems from Honey I Love by Eloise Greenfield. My favorite poem from this collection is Things.
After we read each group were given pieces step by step until they created their own original artwork inspired by masks. For the younger group I had them practice their writing so they were asked to create their own poem or pictorial story on the back of their artwork.
