Residency-AVIVO ArtWorks-Jes Reyes-1 hr
Residency-Burnsville-Susan Armington- 0 hrs
I met with Courtney and Jes on the 4th of January to complete my first orientation. My background check has been processed so I am ready to begin my work at AVIVO. I will be starting this Thursday at 11am. Jess has asked me to jot down some reason for working at AVIVO and what I'd like to do while participating in this residency. I am eager to meet the members at ArtWorks and offer feedback/mentorship during studio hours. I would like to propose a collage project or workshop for members. I am specifically interested in working in fields that address mental illness such as AVIVO because I believe I can learn a lot about arts integration in these areas.
I have not meet with Susan yet, but we plan to see each other on the 25th of this month. I am excited to shadow her work with aging adults and am happy to revisit her series of talking suitcases. I hope to gain more experience working with older adults so that I can widen my understanding of a variety of teaching styles.
