Week 2 - Omega Artspace

1-27 Day 2

Today at Omega Charter the Artspace class did an activity about senses and place. We first introduced the five senses:

See, Hear, Taste, Smell, Touch

We then used our theme of Place to categorize the kinds of things our senses help us to experience. In small groups they would draw images for a specific sense that relate to a place we named. Examples of places include Baseball game, Zoo, Beach, Farm, and Restaurant. The group would then rotate and draw for a new sense and new place. The kids did a great job and the resulting collages were very colorful and interesting.

Week 1 - Omega ArtSpace

1-22 Day 1

Hello Omega Artspace! This message is from Adam & Scott, the ArtSpace assistants at Omega. It was great to see all the smiling faces on the first day of ArtSpace. We had a chance to introduce ourselves so all the children could learn more about us. We also introduced our theme for ArtSpace…

-- PLACE --

We have many fun and interesting activities planned that will deal with PLACE. We hope the children will gain a new outlook on art and what it has to offer. For our first day, we began to learn our students names by playing a name game. The students then designed their own ArtSpace VIP passes that will serve as their name tags for the program. We also played some games, like "AS IF," a creative movement activity in which the students move in certain ways ("move as if you are...").

We look forward to a fun and rewarding ArtSpace experience and hope the same for all involved. Keep bringing smiling faces and open minds and we will take care of the rest.

Students playing the name game - each student would say their name and something they like that begins with the same letter as their first name (for example "I'm Scott and I like to swim").
