Finding A Host Program

I am creating this blog to keep track of my journey through my art education studies. For the majority of this semester it will be following a project I am doing for another class, Art Teaching Practicum. For this project we are to go out and find a host teacher or organization in the community and become involved with the program by either developing our own curriculum or assisting in a curriculum that has already been developed. At this point in my project I am contacting people in the community to see where I will be needed. I have contacted the Sorenson Unity Center to try and assist in a photography collaboration, the Guadalupe School to assist with an elementary class, and I have also contacted Youthcity, Artways to assist in afterschool art programs. With this, I will plan on going in for interviews to see if this is honestly something I am interested in helping with and also if they can see me assisting them in the program. I will choose from one and work with them atleast four hours a week, if not more. At the end of the semester, we are to have 48 service hours with this program and will have hopefully gained a better understanding for the program. I am excited about starting this journey and will be updating weekly on my progress.
