Teen Art Club
👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 ALL INFORMATION CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻
During this pandemic, it has been a challenge for me as a programming librarian to think outside of the box…library. One thing my coworker and I did was to look at our in library programs to try to figure out how make them remote. Our first experiment was art club. Our in-house art club had evolved from an instruction type program to a more relaxed program where teens could come in with their drawing tablets and pencils and socialize while they draw. While we could certainly do this over Zoom, our teens will not do Zoom so we went back to the instruction approach and this is what we did and what happened.
Each teen receives what’s pictured. If you are on a budget, you can get everything from the Dollar Tree. I’ve used the Dollar Tree’s drawing pads and they are pretty good.
We have an interesting patron base and by that I mean, they don’t like to take the extra step and click a dang link to register. I did the registration on FB and told patrons to click the link to register-the link took them to our registration software. One person did it that way. So I tried a different approach; I put it on FB again and this time, I told them to comment below to register. My boxes were gone in a couple of hours.
That sounds amazing, you say. What a great idea, you say. No, unfortunately it’s not. It’s very difficult to keep track of people this way. The original post gets buried and I have to scroll for days to find it and once I find it; I have to look through all the other comments and shares to find the people who actually registered. So then I messaged them so that I had a running list and designated place to find everyone. While this was better than FB comments, it was still a drag to sift through other messages. Other disadvantages is that I don’t get their real names, their emails, or other information unless I ask and that is too intrusive on social media. Also, since it’s the parents who are commenting of FB because teens don’t use FB, I’m getting the parent’s name and not their teen’s. Once again, I could ask in messenger but once again again, it’s too intrusive on social media.
Ultimately, this was a learning experience and I will not take registration over FB again. Instead, patrons are just going to have to get used to the idea of clicking a link and stop being lazy. If they are too busy to click a link, chances are they are too busy to craft. Yes, I realize that it’s the parent who is registering for their teen but keep this in mind if you are programming for adults. I always work within the numbers game; the more people who participate the better. But I have to get it in my head that this is a weird time and people are consumed with other problems. If I only get five teens to participate, that’s okay.
We split the program up into eight classes. Each class teaches something new and we’ve decided to teach pop art; perspective; Piet Mondrian; fashion figures; how to draw a house; comics; Frida Kahlo remix; and still life. Classes are available every Saturday for eight weeks so teens have to wait a week between each class. Please check out our YouTube channel to see our videos.
Disclaimer, my co worker nor I have an art background and neither one of us would consider ourselves artists by any means. Should we be teaching art if we aren’t artists? Probably not but my teens do not do Zoom so I’m not going to pay an art teacher only for no one to show. We also don’t have any artists on the staff. My co worker and I taught ourselves each skill and then taught the teens. None of the skills are particularly difficult.
My coworker and I take turns leading the classes. We film the instruction and then we upload them to Youtube. We upload weekly so that it’s similar to an in-house weekly program.
It has been an interesting new challenge to film videos as I had never done this before. I do watch a lot of Youtube so I kinda know what they should look like. We use an IPEVO documenting camera to film face down videos. I edit on my iMovie app on my phone. iMovie is not available on Android so you’ll have to find something comparable. I do voice overs on iMovie because the sound quality on my computer is terrible. I then put the video on a slide in Canva-use the presentation template.
90% of the FB registrants were teens I’ve never heard of or seen before so that’s cool! We received 25 registrants for this kit which is VERY VERY COOL! And most of them were middle school which is VERY VERY VERY COOL! 75% of our IG followers are high schoolers and even though that’s great, HS students are busy and tend to not engage in anything but IG polls.
The deadline for the first four projects is August 8th and at the time you are looking at this, it is not Aug. 8th. I haven’t received any submissions so far but my teens always wait until the deadline date to submit anything so I’m not worried yet. I will update this site when the deadline passes.
If they don’t submit on the deadline, I will be contacting them on FB messenger to remind them and their parents that they agreed to complete the submissions when they registered and if they don’t complete it, it will affect their ability to register for future programs. I know that’s harsh but we have a modest budget (especially after we bought our Glowforge Laser Cutter) and I don’t like it when patrons register for stuff and other teens can’t get it because it’s all gone-IT’S THE WORST! I will be nice when I tell them though.
Have you done an art club to go? Tell us about it.
