This week, youth artists used watercolor ink and oil pastels to create artwork centered around the theme of “dreams.” For check in, we asked, “what do you dream of?” The youth shared, “I dream of being a basketball player,” “I dream that I can fly!” “I dream of being an artist!” After sharing a dream during check-in, a youth artist brought her dream to life in her artwork: “I dream about a water dragon and a fire dragon. They fight, the water dragon wins and this is good as it is good for the earth…the earth needs water.”
As youth explored the watercolor inks and discovered the way the inks blend together with water, one child shared, “I made a galaxy. This is Princess Galaxy where all the planets are princesses. It’s a peaceful galaxy and they are all friends.”
