Day 1 began with the name game (where the above names came from). It was a fun way to break the ice. After the name game, they worked on some journal writing and reflection. Each artist came up with a discovery they had already made about themselves and then created a goal for the rest of the day. They also wrote stories/poems about an ancient doorway. They had a picture of an ancient door way and I let them use their creative juices to come up with a story for what was beyond the door. Maybe some of them will share their amazing stories/poems at the parent presentation on Tuesday night.
Day 2 was all about self reflection. Students envisioned where they might be in the future. Then, they drew their future self in the mirror and I took a photo of them looking into that mirror. It's a little complicated to explain, but the results were inspiring. In addition to the drawing and photo, they wrote a short poem about their future self. Here are some examples.
Day 3 we were very tired, but we still managed to create some awesome poems and stories inspired by some of the paintings we will see tonight at the Pageant of the Masters. These artists truly amaze me with their creativeness. I know they look forward to sharing some of it at the presentation on Tuesday night.
