So as many of you may know, last sunday was this years interns very first Target Sunday! We spent the day at three tables that held three different art activities inspired by different themes and pieces in the Gorgeous exhibit. One of the reasons that I signed on for the ArtSpeaks internship was to gain more experience with teaching art to children and Target Sundays are a perfect place for that. I was able to spend the whole day doing fun art activities with children, parents, and even some adult visitors who were surprisingly enthusiastic about their creations. just to think about the thought process and dedication that went into the creation and development of these crafts by last years class of interns already has me buzzing with excitement to work on the next batch of projects for the next exhibit! I went into last weekend with a few misconceptions about how the day would go. I expected a lot of awkward conversations and for people to turn down my offers more often then not, I had even begun to dread the possible problematic child or supplies malfunction. Of course my worries were quickly put to rest as the entire day went by without a single problem. If anything Target Sunday was more fun then I could've possibly hoped for and I can barely wait for tomorrows Target Sunday!
