A two-week session, engaging ten youth ages ten to fourteen will be implemented by a local artist-in-residence and supported by our staff. YMCA Anthony Bowen artists-in-residence are engaged to lead virtual art classes they will share their expert artistic technique, and culturally and community relevant artistic perspectives. ARTiculate will hold virtual classes four days a week for two weeks. Each session is comprised of four components: Education, Reflection, Project Visioning and Project Creation. These components form a model of practice that will improve artistic technique, expression, and literacy; and contribute to fostering socially conscious critical thinkers in the long-term.
