For
the volunteer component of my keystone, I am not only creating projects and
selling them for charity, but also just started volunteering at my alma
mater, Brandeis Hillel Day School, Marin. This past Monday, March 17, I had a
triple study hall (C block was canceled due to the teacher being in Israel), so
my dad and I headed to Brandeis, where I guest taught a middle school art
class.
I started the class by explaining what my
keystone was, and gave a short presentation where I showed them my blog and
some of my projects.
I was called to help because my sister, Shayna
(JCHS class of 2018!), told Lisa Levy, the art teacher, about the gift I made
for our New Orleans host organization. I created a Shrinky Dink Hamsa hanging ornament-type
thing. I will make another post about that, and a tutorial of this class that I
taught.
I then demonstrated how to draw a Hamsa with
a new technique I invented when making my gift. I answered some quick questions
and then for the next hour helped the students draw and color their Hamsas onto
Shrinky Dink Paper. It ended up being a fantastic class, and we took pictures
that will end up in their weekly newsletter, the HaShavuah. I was able to
import the photos onto my computer, and my favorites are in the next post.
Thank you to Brandeis for giving me the opportunity and being just generally
awesome. Love to all, Stay Creative! Rivi <3
