April 21 & 23
Who do we want to be when we grow up? And where do we want to go? These are the questions that Sunnyslope Artspace students asked themselves this week. We decided its never to young to start thinking about what you want to be when you grow up. We took the time to design a life plan mapping out "What" we want to be. Gillian, a 4th grade Sunnyslope student stated that "I want to be the President. Because I want to save animals." Among the other artspace students we had kids who wanted to be in the milatary, professional football, soccer, and basket ball players, doctors, chefs, cheerleaders, singers, and some kids just wanted to be famous. David wants to be a superhero. The kids also stated where they wanted to live. Some of the kids wanted to stay in Arizona, some wanted to move away to Mexico or other parts of the United States, and you can guess who was heading to the White House. The students also perclaimed why they choose the professions they did. Many of the students wanted to help others. Keep your eyes open for these kids in the future, because they are America's future.
Using the ideas that we came up with for our future we decided to integrate all of our artistic skills including drawing, architecture, sculpting, design, creative movement, and musicality in original performances. Each creative team choreographed, produced, and make the costumes and sets for their own skit. This week we got to work scripting and creating all of these props.
