I would say the biggest thing I've learned from working with the campers is the HUGE diversity within the ages 6-12! Oh my goodness! MANY days they had me worn down. A classroom with several different ages in it has to be handled a certain way, and I found out quickly (also a HARD learned lesson my first week of Flagship last semester) that a strong and clear foundation of guidelines and structure had to be Lesson Number I! A "funny" also-I learned eight different ways to get a room full of loud, boisterous children quiet! Each instructor had his/her own little trick but used a lot of silent hand movements, in general. I helped with 8 of the 12 summer camps so far this summer and each one was a learning experience. I've learned several things through this summer's experience. Lastly, I'd like to thank my mom, Sue Facklam, a lifelong educator with EON'S (haha.had to, Mom) of dealing with kids under her belt, for the instructional guidance pertaining to the camps. Second, I would like to thank Kia Liszak, Linds Sanders and Lindsey Weber for welcoming me into the ZACC crew so warmly and allowing me to grow and learn. What a fantastic creative source and outlet for Missoula residents and passersby! I've met people from all walks of life, while just sitting in the ceramics room clear coating bisque ware. I loved and took so much away from this experience.įirst, I'd like to thank UM's School of Art Director, Professor Julia Galloway, for allowing me this opportunity to way to further my education and helping to support the expedited manner in which I am pursuing it. I showed up at the ZACC seeking out this opportunity back in May, not knowing what to expect and I leave this internship part of (I hope) the funky fun ZACC family within the center's doors. How do sum up my summer's internship with the Zootown Arts Community Center? That is tough.
