I do volunteer work every Friday where I assist teaching an art class at an high school in the city.
Instead of me just teaching the students how to draw or paint, I’m actually developing projects we all work on together.
I think that’s a better environment for creativity to flow than me just telling them “how art should be.”
Well, last weekend, we had an exhibition of the work the students, and us volunteers did!
The whole area we work in is a bad neighborhood, and we are trying to redeem any rich culture and history left in the city.
The gallery was on the top floor of a Polish Hall, which was gorgeous, but I had to do a lot of yard work and cleaning
for it to look presentable.

After all the back breaking work, I could finally enjoy how beautiful our gallery was!
The table is the project I work on for my professor. We recorded the conversations between the senior citizens and the students of the area to see how these gapped generations would interact. As they told stories and feelings they were open to doodle, paint, write, or color while listening to each other. The artwork on the tables are the results while you can sit down and listen to what
was recorded. I really enjoyed this project because I got to meet so many amazing people.
Well, I’m very tired now, and I will busy for next two weeks with finals. Let’s all get through this!
