On Monday, June 15, at 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, members of the Great Neck branch of AYLUS gathered at the Great Neck house to assist with the accessible art program. (23th)
The accessible art program helps children and young adults with disabilities explore their creativity and imagination through art of all different kinds. Each week, the students do a different project with multiple steps. Not something that limits their creativity like a coloring book. All of the students are age 16 and above.
This program allows students to put away their personal life and let loose and draw. It lets the students socialize with people outside of school.
This week, students did a tie-dye activity, as well as making bracelets. We used paint, beads, string, and fabric. The colorful assortment of beads made the bracelets look aesthetically pleasing, and the letters helped the appearance as well. The tie dye made the shirts look colorful and unique.
