Art Interact
Art Interact is an after school art program for K-6 kids that I founded during my sophomore year. It is held at our local library and a group of student volunteers hosts arts and crafts lessons that explore a variety of mediums and styles. All of the volunteers have a passion for art and for working with kids.
My initial intent in starting this program was to not only share my passion for art, but also do expose these children to a spectrum of artistic pursuits . I had discovered my love for art at a young age, thus I think exposure is crucial in helping them find what they may like to further pursue. The art education in many schools has begun to suffer due to budget cuts; I do not want the kids to lack exposure to the arts, so in a way this program is designed to supplement their art curriculum.
