4-H Virtual Art Club Provides Virtual Learning Experience

Author: Ryan Farley

Planning Unit: Fayette County CES

Major Program: Communications and Expressive Arts

Plan of Work: Developing Life Skills

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Providing positive youth development experiences in-spite of the restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially those featuring more hands-on activities, provided a worthy challenge for the 2020-2021 4-H programming year. One response to this challenge was the 4-H Virtual Art Club Woodford County 4-H provided for any 4-H-aged youth from November to April. 6-13 participants met once a month and each meeting featured a different 4-H art project from the Kentucky 4-H State Fair project catalog. Projects included calligraphy, linoleum print, wire art, clay sculpture and oil pastels. During each meeting participants learned about each art topic, it’s history and equipment and then completed a project that would be eligible for entry into the Kentucky State Fair. As a culminating experience, three club members participated in a community-supported art show held in downtown Versailles. With support from the local art industry, the three participants featured their art and engaged with the community on their artistic inspirations and what their art meant to them.
