First Class at Morning Star

Published Nov 13, 2023

Today at Morning Star on Williams Road, Artify begun their classes starting off with the third graders! The kids drew tigers, led by Co-President Jessica Xiao, traced, and colored them in, following the tigers on the board or the samples created by our volunteers. Then, they cut their tigers out, pasted them to a colored page, and decorated their tiger habitats.

The kids had a blast, naming their tigers, creating unique patterns, and even adding claws to “intimidate” other tigers. They bonded with the volunteers, introducing themselves and sharing their favorite K-pop artists, notable ones being BlackPink and Stray Kids.

“It was super fun, and I really enjoyed teaching [the] kids and guiding them the project,” Co-President Grace Huang recounts. “We wanted to give them the best first impression and were actually kind of worried if they would get into it. But they did, and I heard one kid asking if there would be more classes.”

The class started at 5 and ended around 6, with the kids taking home any unfinished works to bring to their classes tomorrow, where the teacher will display them on the wall.
