Service Learning: Tuesday, 10th March

Today we had our second trip to the Christalite Methodist Home to do arts and crafts activities with the seniors. We decided that the theme of our arts and crafts would be celebrations.

My group made Easter eggs

The best thing about our trip today was that many of the seniors were engaged in our project and loved making it.

It was different from last time because this time the seniors sat at two tables and not one so it was a little harder as we had to go up and down and share the same materials. We had to split into two groups.

My biggest take away was that if you make one straight plan than it won't work because they have their own way and that you should make many plans so that they can pick which one they wan't to do.

Genius hour

I have researched about the art that was done in the 1800's and 1900's. I have researched on the painters/artists and how the paintings that were made looked. I noticed that most of them were make from oil paints.

One interesting or surprising thing that I learnt was that most of the famous paintings were done a long time ago not right now. I think that the oil paints help the paintings.

Something that changed my topic a little was how a really long time ago when paintings were made out of mud was not my kind of thing so I made my topic a little more modern.

One new resource is an expert person who I am going to interact with and I am still using the laptop. I have used more websites.

My next step will be to talk with my expert person and research a little more as well as continue with the google presentation.
