On Thursday, September 30th the Art2Dream team, Bob Sander, and students from Jennings Creek Elementary School spent the day at The Downing Museum and Baker Arboretum. We had a storytelling and music session with Bob Sanders, which helped get the students creativity flowing and connected the arts with literacy. After the session, the Art2Dream team led an art activity. During the lesson, the students told their own stories through visual representations.
A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
WKU Art2Dream team collaborated with Arts for All Kentucky and Cynthia Changaris, a story-teller from Louisville, KY, for a special unit at Jennings Creek Elementary School in Bowling Green, KY. The unit, titled the Drakes Tale Story, created an emphasis on friendship during the Spring 2021 semester. The students were taught that “a friend in need is a friend indeed.”
Connecting, Growing, and Remembering Through Art – Art2Dream – WKU Art Education
We use art to lift spirits, connect with others (using our creativity to speak in ways that people understand irregardless of the language differences), and even to help recollect memory (i.e. Alzheimer’s disease). How will you use your creativity today?
