Shadowing - Little Earth Native Youth Arts Collective - Heidi Haferman - 3 hours
Courtney, Eleni, and I were able to go over to Little Earth Native Youth Arts Program with Heidi and meet Joe and the other students on Wednesday.
Everyone was extremely nice, welcoming, and the students are so much fun! We did some quick ice-breakers, introduced ourselves, and talked about certain expectations we have at MCAD and how the group would like to carry that into the Art in Community class.
Also, we got to meet Genevieve, who is absolutely amazing! She’s so bubbly and full of positive energy, so I’m excited to work with her and her class this coming up Wednesday.
I had a fun time, so I’m excited to continue with this shadowing. Thanks to Heidi for taking us to Little Earth and dropping us off at our houses: that was extremely kind of her!!
Also, my fav student right now is Mr. Lera :) a shame that I won’t get to see him again for awhile :(

Residency - El Colegio Charter School - Peter Glaser - 6 hours
So, coming up into this last week, it’s pretty much a routine that I’ve gotten down! Tuesdays are always worksheet notes with work time, and Fridays are notebook checks/extra help time. I think when I first started at El Colegio I was a little lost in the lessons as I was just kind of coming in halfway through. However, as we’ve started a new lesson, I was able to follow along and actually help a few students with individual help. It’s helping me become more acquainted with the students and vice versa!
Also, there were no classes on Friday as there were scheduled parent/teacher conferences.
TOTAL HOURS: 9 hrs
Other than that, that’s it! March is already here, and it’s almost going to be time to start planning my lesson for El Colegio and start my second residency at the Children’s Residential Treatment Center. Where does the time go? :’)
Here’s a character I made for Character Design where we had to transport a character through three different time periods. I choose 1500’s, Victorian Era, and distant future.
