Teaching Art: Lobs and Lessons Summer Program
June 30th, 2008- Lobs and Lessons, is looking for a few volunteers, preferably art education students, who would like to design and teach an art lesson or activity during its summer camp. Lobs and Lessons is an after school athletics and arts program on VCU's campus that works with children from the William C. Byrd house, the Richmond YMCA and the Boys and Girls club.
- These lessons would be 1 or 1.5 hours in length and geared towards 3rd-5th grade kids. Volunteers create an art lesson or activity, let the director know of the supplies needed, and then teach this lesson once a week for three consecutive weeks. The time of these lessons in somewhat flexible.as is the day. Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday seems to fit best. See the schedule below. Three visits are necessary to offer an art experience to all the children from the different sites. If volunteers wanted to teach additional weeks, Lobs and Lessons would be most accommodating.
