I’ll just leave this right here...

Medical schools in the U.S. are adding arts and humanities to the curriculum, helping students hone skills like critical thinking, observation, and empathy.

Art met science in our last Thursday class! We did color experiments and made glitter slime!! We’re so sad to end this term with these awesome mini-artists!! 😭❤️🎨

❤️science! We did some fun experiments with color and different materials in our Tuesday class, to see how they reacted to each other. It was really cool to see right before our very eyes!

Painting hearts with these sweethearts... First we painted, then we moved to more 3-dimensional hearts 💕

The STEAM class was so much fun!! We truly can’t wait to do another class like this one! The most incredible thing to watch was each child’s interpretation of the project and what they would conjure up and create with the materials given. Absolutely incredible!

What we did:
1. The kids were given a peg board, pegs and colorful rubber bands.

2. After viewing Vincent Van Gogh’s, “The Starry Night,” everyone was given a wide variety of materials in the same color scheme of the painting. They were then challenged to try and recreate the painting. I️ loved seeing their excitement when they would recreate certain parts of the painting, but my favorite was hearing them name the painting themselves before knowing its actual title. ❤️

3. 🙌🏼RUBE GOLDBERGS!!! If you don’t know him, google him or find some on YouTube. We used dominos, toy train sets and marble runs to try and creat our own Rube Goldbergs.

Painted bagels, spin art and sculptures (...and coffee, of course) made for a great way to start off our Veteran’s Day art classes!!
