Service Learning at Christalite Methodist Home

Today our class went to the Christalite Methodist Home and I learned that the seniors wanted their painting to look special. Like today, I was working with two seniors and one of them started fighting because they complained about how the paint was dirty. Because one of the seniors didn't wash their brush that often. I think that our class achieved the goal of trying to focus on the person, not the drawing and also trying to make a friend because a lot of them were having a good time. I know this because as they were doing the craft, I could tell that some of them were laughing and also enjoying this time with their friends. I think we achieved making friends because they shook hands with us and some of them were also thanking us for letting them paint with their friends. I felt happy to see all these seniors happy.

Artist Statement

I picked this art work because I thought it was really colorful and also really creative. I learned that so you have to be precise in this or else you would mess up this peice. I love the colors the most because I thought it looked good together.
