Adventure 6

For the week of  March 1st, in class we did a collaborative art activity. We started of by discussing what exactly this meant and how it could be used in therapeutic recreation settings. We also discused the importance of being frugal, since we will not always have access to as many materials as we would like. After the overall activity was explained to us, we split up into our groups and discuss what kind of activity that we wanted to create. From there we had to select our materials that we wanted from the pile that was provided to us. Our group decided to create a picture-story book. We made a small book from regular paper and bound the sheets together with hemp. On the first page we wrote a couple fun sententences which the following group would have to draw on to the next page.  The following group after the one who drew the picture, would have to write a sentance about the picture...and so on. To keep it fun we provided markers, feathers, googly eye and much more. Once we had our activity set up, we were able to move around in our groups to try other group activities. I loved seeing the creative idea in which other groups were able to come up with.

 I really enjoy doing different craft activities even though I am not a pro. I was pleasantly surprised that I felt more creative doing these activities with my three crafty group members. I felt that their creativity and possitive thinking was adding to my creativity. Once we were able to go around and encorporate our own ideas into the other activities, we shared the end results with the class. I really enjoyed seeing how amazing everything turned out and how creative everyone in our class truely is.
