Frist Class with Island Waves Community Center



Today Sunday January 15th we held our first class in the new building with the Island Community Center. We meet our students from last week who attended our last class, and walked them over to the center. There we worked on making individual sketch books, using rubber bands, copy paper, and construction paper. The children seemed to really take to this project, decorating their books, with drawings, their names, and stencils. We talked about how one can use a sketch book, not only drawing, but also writing. We had a small group of about 7 students, aging from 6-10. At the end of our class, we were joined by Devon Bootle, a local artist and member of the community center. He showed us some of his own work from his own sketch book. The students were blown away. He started to show them how to make shapes come alive by shading. Next week we plan on making musical instruments.
