ABOUT
Welcome to the website that follows a Ryerson University Early Childhood Studies student fulfilling her internship with VIBE ARTS For Children and Youth.
This blog has been constructed as a guide to inform newly recruited artists about the experiences when working with a group of children.
​
The blog includes ways to expand children's creative thinking, encourage independence and self-empowerment, managing a large group of children, behavioural management, and cultural sensitivity.
​
It will also include different teaching methods and external resources to help others find an educational approach that is best suited.
​
This blog is used as a guide for others who wish to teach art to children and youth.
​
During the fall semester, Intern M will update the website with her reflection of her week with VIBE ARTS & the programs she took place in. In addition, she will provide her perspective as an aspiring educator and review the various
teaching methods & approaches with each age group.
​
Intern M will review and give insight on which teaching practice works best with what art form that is being taught.
