On August 26th, San Diego students of Aylus hosted its 22nd digital art workshop. The goal of this workshop is to foster the talents and interests of 5-9th grade students interested in digital art and provide a platform for them to share their creativity with the community. Another goal of this workshop is to raise funds for the Libraries of Love, a project to build libraries for K-8 kids in Africa and provide books to them.
We plan to host the workshop every Saturday and have volunteers/teaching assistants to aid students. Through this activity, AYLUS volunteers are able to teach students a wide range of digital art skills and provide technical support, starting from beginner knowledge to more advanced techniques.
Today we had our first club field trip to Museum of Art San Diego. We collaborate with an art teacher Alice who’s very familiar with the museum, especially with its east Asian displays. Alice guided us through the museum with emphasized on Chinese displays including the mixture of Buddhist and Daoist. In addition, we visited a special exhibition of O’Keefee and Moore. The students anticipated with onsite drawing at the end of visit!
