Our Spring session kicked off with a homemade snack and the book I am Special by Max Lucado. A sweet book that reminds us that we are all unique and special and …”fearfully and wonderfully made.” And what our Creator thinks of us matters the most. They each received a verse card to remind them of this(Psalm 139:14).
I shared with the girls that sometimes writer’s write “free writes,” where they just write and write what comes to mind and just get out their thoughts. I had the girls partner up and do “free talks.” They had the words “I am…” as a starter and talked and talked about who they are with their partner.
Next, the girls were introduced to Lune poetry. A poem with three lines, the first line has three words, the second line has five words, and the third line has three words. That’s it! I gave the girls a frame to work with…
I am__________________.
I am_____________ and________________.
I am__________________.
The girls wrote their Lunes and then glued it in the middle of some white paper. They added drawings around their poems that matched.
Last, the girls love sharing their work on the stage outside the Art Room. So, they each read their poems and talked about their illustrations.
A wonderful way to begin our Spring Session!
Reminder: our next workshop is April 15– Materials of Art
