This past week, I helped Bethany with many smaller things at the Harris House location of ACA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, we discussed upcoming events and I scheduled Facebook posts for any events happening in March. Then, we searched awhile for a website that sells pool noodles in bulk because a teacher at a school near there (I think middle school) is planning a project with the art classes and needed supplies. They already have most of the supplies they need but couldn’t find the pool noodles (I’m curious about what these will be used for). I also assisted Bethany in gathering the supplies someone needed to host an event this upcoming Friday called “Painting for Wellness<\/a>.” Normally Bethany is the one running this event, but since she is on break this week, someone else is filling in for her. We put together boxes with aprons, paint, brushes, easels, and canvases that participants will use. I have unfortunately not been able to attend this workshop since I have a school commitment during that time on Fridays, but I hope I’m able to go someday and see exactly how Bethany ties in wellness with art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then on Thursday we needed to measure the dimensions of the gallery space in Harris House for the staff to figure out where exactly they could place artwork. We took measurements of all the walls and then spent awhile inputting the numbers onto a floor plan (and then figuring out how to print it and enlarge it and copy it and fax it…). Even though things like this seem tedious, it is so necessary to plan accordingly since not having space for artwork after you thought you would could be disastrous. I’m glad that I could help her create a cohesive floor plan that they will be able to use in the future! I then added some more survey responses into the system. I ALSO sent out a mass email informing people about the Arts and Wellness Academy<\/a> coming up in April. I really wanted to go to this last year but couldn’t, so I am very excited that I will be able to help out this year. This academy is meant to train people in the field of arts and wellness, so it is perfect for me given my major in art therapy. I really felt like we accomplished a lot on Thursday and I know Bethany was glad to have gotten so much done before her trip this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This past week, I helped Bethany with many smaller things at the Harris House location of ACA.
