Success StoryCampbell County Cloverbuds Create Collaborative Art



Campbell County Cloverbuds Create Collaborative Art

Author: Kellsey Agnew

Planning Unit: Campbell County CES

Major Program: Communications & Expressive Arts

Plan of Work: Leadership, Community Development, and Marketing - Community Pride, Leadership, Communications, and Collaborations

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The 4-H Cloverbud program is an informal educational experience helping our young people develop confidence, social skills, decision-making abilities, subject matter knowledge, and physical skills. The program allows Cloverbud participants to be introduced to the seven core areas of 4-H: Agriculture, Communications and Expressive Arts, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health and Wellbeing, Leadership, Natural Resources, and Science, Engineering and Technology.

This year, Campbell County 4-H Cloverbuds spent a meeting delving into the concept of community and service learning. As a way to give back to their community, 48 Cloverbuds, with the help of 6 teen volunteers, created a beautiful collaborative art project for display.

Collaborative Art is a form of art that involves multiple people working together to create a single art piece. Collaborative art projects are not just about creating art; they are a unique way to teach teamwork, respect for others’ ideas, and the beauty of diverse perspectives.

Collaborative art helps build community by strengthening community identity and well-being, developing social skills by helping children develop teamwork and communication, and promoting respect by teaching children to respect others' ideas and diverse perspectives.

Participants are already discussing for next year what they will create and how they can create joy by sharing their art with their community.
