Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Youth will learn art techniques from a professional instructor and create a project to take home.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Kids made foil hearts and learned about embossing and recycled materials.
Wreaths were made gluing puzzle pieces on a cardboard wreath with a glue gun. Then they could chose from 20+ containers of other fun stuff to glue on top of their puzzle pieces: wheels, beads, mylar, feathers, ribbon, letters, pop bottle tabs ,etc. The wreaths turned out great!
Instructor worked well with the kids. Kids made dinosaurs out of scrap materials: old cd's, egg cartons, etc.
Kids created art projects out of recycled materials.
