In the first activity we had a group of kids from different age groups with the oldest ones attending year 5 and the youngest ones from year 3. we made the children go into groups of four and each group was to make a group creation, because we feared that there wasn't enough play dough. At the end there was enough, so the children could choose if they wanted to work as a tea or go solo. most of them combined the ideas, each team came up with an area in which there figures were connected and made different figures.
I believe that the children had fun as they were all happy at the end. I also had fun and I was touched when one group had made something for us as a gift.
In the second activity we had children from year 2 and year 4. the activity was making masks and each person could make his own with what ever design he or she could want. At first the children didn't know what to make so we gave them a few ideas and two of us even made their own masks by the end. we had some problems with lack of equipment like the lack of string that was used to tie the mask but it was resolved at the end. All the kids there left with at least on mask and they seemed happy with their masks by the end.
as for myself i believe that from the art fair I have developed my artistic skills as I have been helping some of the kids. I engaged in a new kind of activity by managing an activity with other to give to young kids, younger than I ever had to instruct. I also worked collaboratively with three other people to make this planned activities.
