Due to the limitations of rigid exam-orientated education in the local school curriculum, students are rarely able to enjoy and benefit from art education. In addition to art, the storytelling will enhance the student’s English language skills. In school, students often learn English only through memorising grammar rules and doing reading comprehension so teaching them English outside of the classroom can increase their interest in the language.
Creative Art, Creative Mind allows local school students to use art to think creatively while practicing their English verbal/writing skills. Through Art and English, they will also be able to learn about humanities and history, subjects that are not emphasized in their school curriculum.
Our goal
Creative Art, Creative Mind allows local school students to use art to think creatively while practicing their English verbal/writing skills. Through Art and English, they will also be able to learn about humanities and history, subjects that are not emphasized in their school curriculum. By the end of each 6-week-session students will have created their own comic book/picture book.
Expectations
Members will have opportunities to create their own lesson plan and to teach the students first-hand. Potentials activities include: 1) Collaborative painting/writing 2) Storytelling workshop (creating a picture book or a comic) 3) Verbal sharing of their creations
Virtual Plan: 1) Volunteers of the service will plan and prepare for the lesson plan online. 2) One volunteer will be responsible for the material preparation for each class and they will drop the material packages off at YMCA. 3) The classes will be held on Zoom where we can teach through presentations and breakout rooms.
